Not even a serial number. Well Unisyn sucks as far as support goes.. I dont think it handles a single one of my synths. MidiQuest isnt bad but its no Sound Diver and rather confusing to setup at first.. The beta is ok. Autolink is gone but you use Cubase anyways so that wont matter.. I dont think youll find a list of bugs anywhere for it so its all just reports from people here on the list who have gotten rather frustrated with Apple over it the last few years.. One BIG thing to look out for, no matter what you do, if you select and open a patch on ANY synth you have connected, even if you dont touch it, SD will write it back to memory on the synth when you close the window. So make sure once you start tweaking a sound, you REALLY REALLY wanted to change it otherwise get in the habit of making constant backups to the Library.. With my synths thats the only snag whatsoever Ive run into but Im sure with the tons of different adaptations out there youre bound to run into something else along the way.. FWIW I use a Waldorf Microwave XT, Micro Q, Korg ER1, Alesis SR16, and an Access Virus A with it and those seem to work fine except for the previously mentioned writing bug.. -- Chris http://www.monotrematamusic.com http://www.myspace.com/monotremata http://www.descentrecords.com
