I just got Stylus RMX. One of its best features is a drag and drop midi file. I tried it and L6 instantly crashed. The tried it on L7, same deal. Permissions repaired. Prefs tossed. Same deal. Then tried dragging a midi file created in Logic off desktop. Same deal. We have a second machine which my assistant uses. Nearly identical setup...no problem there. (biggest difference is we use AMTs on the machine with the prolmes and midi lan on the one that's behaving). We're stumped. Does anybody know what the !@#$ is going on? Thanks in Advance and Much Appreciated, Michael A. Levine

Levine > Things to try: Import. I know this works. I've had clients with the same issue use this as a workaround. Delete your Setup Assistant prefs. Someone told me this got their midi import working again. Some things to try anyways.. Good Luck George BTW The client who had these same issues ran AMT's as well. ________________________________________________________ A Member of the Apple Consultants Network (ACN) and an Apple Product Professional.

I read on a forum that if you have too many *hardware* Midi modules connected to your system (over 8 I believe), it causes this crash. I repeated this to someone else on another forum, and when he removed some gear, the crashing problem went away. It apparently has to do with Apple's Audio Midi Setup. I have lots more than 8 pieces of gear attached, and I get the same crash as you. The only solution currently is to use the workarounds that have been suggested here..... It's a dog Regards - Colin

Just to add to the confusion...on my machine I WILL crash with importing SMF's into Logic Pro 6 and 7. However, with Stylus RMX...I dragged the midi from the box onto a track, held my breath...and lo! it worked fine. BTW I'm using 2 MTPAV's... Rgds Ken

I found a quick fix that avoids having to actually unplug midi cables: I have an AudioMidi setup with all my midi gear - but drag and drop of midi files causes an instant crash in Logic. I made a duplicate setup and simply deleted some of the less-used items' icons, to get down to a total of 7. Ta-daaa!! No crash. I seem to be able to swop between the 2 setups while working in Logic without any problems. So....I'll use the cutdown setup when working with RMX and doing drag-and-drop, then go back to my full setup when I'm done. Beats pulling cables out and seems to work okay. Hope this helps someone....... Regards - Colin
