Hello all. I have the following setup: P4 1.4 Gigahertz processor Yamaha DSP factory 2 x MOTU midi Timepiece AV (parallel) 768 Gb Ram 2 x 20Gb hard drive + 1 x 40 Gb drive 1 x AGP Matrox dual card + 1 x PCI Matrox dual card Windows 98 - Win2k and Win XP (I have tried them all) Logic 5.1 with various plugins Basically when I network the MOTUs (to give more than 8 midi ports)it affects the speed of midi input and playback as well as the audio. With 5 or so midi tracks playing, if I try to record another it all slows down so what I play doesn't come out right. At the same time if I play back an audio track it is not in time (I record onto the PC via the DSP factory). The performance monitor bar peaks at about a third. With just the one MOTU connected there are no speed issues whatsoever. I have tried this setup under the 3 operating systems listed above with the same problems resulting. I am aware of the number of midi port limitations under 98 but I am using 10 max and although I get the windows warning, I do not have the DLLs that make the system hang. I have emailed MOTU tech supp but no reply. Any help appreciated. Kevin

No problem on Mac with 3x8 midi port (1 usb + 2 serial) Best regards Cyril Blanc France If you want to be sure I read your answer leave my name in it ! Spam mails are directly going to trash
