hi again everyone. first of all, thanks for all the help so far! it looks like im going to have to buy logic used to get a USB dongle to be able to use Sounddiver Beta for OSX, but first, I'd like to be 100% clear on this: Will SoundDiver accept the XSkey from ANY version of Logic that used one (5,6,or 7)? i think the sounddiver beta predates 7 and maybe even 6 (???) so i want to be absolutely sure before i end up buying something i cant use. meanwhile, ive come to the conclusion that i dont really need autolink because some of my MIDI modules don't respond well to the sysex sounddiver sends out AND i can also get the novation zero controller i plan to buy to automatically learn sysex parameters from sounddiver to quickly build an editor patch for whatever synth ill be using. (please correct me if im wrong) thanks mini
