Is an ISA-card with MPU-401 and a MT-32 compatible synth. I just can't seem to get this one to work in SoundDiver 3.0. The Sysex looks fine, but the card won't respond to handshake attempts. I've tried every Device ID, including 17 - the one suggested by the manual. Suggestions?

Is there a way that sound diver can save the instrument names in the setup window without having to always request special names each time I start SD? Also, I am experiencing note dropouts on my P2K which from what I've read, is an OS problem. My question is: If I revert to version 1.11 from ver 1.21, will I need to do a new Install? I'm running Win98se and SD ver 3.02. Is the pro module in Sd compatible with the P2K w/ ver. 3.02? thanks in advance. Orlando.

hello, This isn't the first time this has happened but now I'm locked out from SoundDiver completely. I double click on SD it says my Authorization has expired,I insert my 3.0 disk,click on continue,it says it's checking but doesn't find my cd...actually it looks like it checks the hard drive. I tried putting the CD in my cdrom and cdrw and doesn't find it at all. Now I can't use SD...plese help. and imho I really hate the authorization thing altogether so this is a real waste of time. Is there any way to save this on your hard drive & not to go throught it again & again...every week? 1 question...a Drumkat what generic module works for that? Thx, GM

You will probably have to remove the P2K from the Setup window and re-scan it, so that the P2K module knows the P2K's version number. -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Audio Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager

Hi Michael, I hate to be a bother but I'm generally having trouble understanding the SoundDiver Manual again. Today I decided to establish the "autolink" between SoundDiver and Logic Audio Gold (windows.) I followed the instructions as outlined on page 358 of the SoundDiver manual. First of all I did not hear the "plop" sound described in the manual. Under section 10.3 it says that whenever Autolink is enabled SoundDiver uses Logic for midi input and output. It then says I can check this in the "preferences" window. So I went the Windows menu and clicked it. I found no window entitled "preferences" listed there. So what ever the preferences windows is, it is not a window in the sense of "device" or "library" windows. I then clicked on every menu item across the top of the screen to see if I could find a listing for "preferences" somewhere. No luck. There is also no reference to a "preferences" window in the manual index or in its table of contents. Now I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this, but the bottom line is this: Emagic, in it's manuals, continually assumes that the reader will know what it's talking about when it makes references to things like this. But I don't know where the preferences window is and this renders the explanation on page 358 completely useless to me. More importantly it stops me dead because I can't go any further in my attempts to master the program until I solve this problem. And this is the second such problem I've had today, the other being with the Logic Audio Gold manual! I had six hours free today in which to work on mastering these programs and I accomplished almost nothing. Never in the 16 or so years that I have been dealing with computers have I had more trouble understanding program manuals. I'm working in isolation here. I have no one local to whom I can turn for help. I need a clear manual that does not assume a level of knowledge that I don't have. But the Emagic manuals are continually doing just that!! I have a master's degree and from that you can assume a reasonable level of intelligence. If I'm having trouble with this, it's safe to assume that a lot of other people are too. The traffic on the LUG list proves this in my opinion. I have a good friend who is a local recording artist. When I told him a year or so back that I was planning on setting up a home studio using Logic, he just shook his head. "I'd need to take a year off from my music to do that," he said. I now know what he was talking about. Emagic needs to hire proof readers for their manuals who are not familiar with the program and not particularly computer oriented. Only then will you find out how clear these manuals really are. Greg McKitrick

When I try to get the program names for bank 0 for my multi using Autolink in Logic get the *multi* names instead of bank 0's program names. When I try to update from bank 1-3 I get the error "Sorry no program names for current channel and port". What am I doing wrong?

Hi Paul, I'm the author of the Q adaptation. I've tried several times to get the Autolink working, but I have no way of checking as I do not have Logic (no pun intended). I have modified it again as recently as a week ago, to make sure you have the latest. If you like, email me offlist and I can have you check/change a few settings to see if this can get worked out. Oh, and let me know which Q you have. > When I try to get the program names for bank 0 for my multi using Autolink > in Logic get the *multi* names instead of bank 0's program names.

I've never managed to get any sys-ex responses from my LAPC in any kind of software, so I strongly suspect that the LAPC is incapable of sending sys-ex to the computer. The other way works OK however, so you should be able to run ordinary (no handshake) dumps TO the LAPC. ------------ Karl H. ----- Original Message ----- From: <jan_erik_sandelin@...> To: <sounddiver-users@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 9:43 AM Subject: [SoundDiver] Roland LAPC-1 > Is an ISA-card with MPU-401 and a MT-32 compatible synth.

This shouldn't happen at all. Once you have requested the ROM instrument/preset names, these are stored in the preferences, so when you re-start SD, you don't need to request them again. > > Also, I am experiencing note dropouts on my P2K which from what I've > read, is an OS problem.

Tried that already (and reinstalled v3.0 as well) but the problem persists. Also spent some time disabling various bits and pieces in the device manager to see if that made any difference.

Michael, I have a Dual-500 G4 w/G3 Stealth and driver v1.03. U8 is one of the more recent units, i think rev3 (but not MKII). OS 9.04 / 512MB Ram Recently acquired SD 3.0 (now 3.03) and updated my U8 firmware from 1.29 to 1.31. Was having trouble getting communication between SD and my K2000 (SD apparently but K2000 not responding--possibly unrelated) and looked in the MIDI communications prefs and noticed that the MIDI interface prefs shows the "fast" box unchecked and SD refuses to allow me to check this box. The same thing occurs in U8 control v3. Also...the red LED on the Panic/Patch light seems to frequently stay solid red, no matter how many times I press this button. Repeated attempts to turn the unit on and off sometimes make it go away and sometimes repeated attempts to disable and reenable the port in software sometimes make it go away... But it's stubborn and likes to stay red these days. Curiously, LAMP 4.61 does not have this problem and fast mode works fine and the red LED goes out when I launch LAMP. However, with Logic already booted and then booting SD and attempting to double-click on a device to open it's contents immediately causes a crash with the message "Please tell Emagic how you did this, etc." SD does not crash when Logic is not booted (well maybe it has a couple of times, but not under those circumstances ; ) ) This problem occurs with most extensions off except the Stealth driver. Any ideas? -Dan Alvarez

Hey list! I recently purchased an Emagic AMT8 midi interface. It worked alright for a few days, but then things started getting fu**ed up (Logic only found half of the MIDI ports on the AMT).. So i decided to reinstall the drivers and Sounddiver. Now Sounddiver can't even find the interface. When I click on Emagic AMT8 and do 'scan all' i get the normal error message: "No new devices found. please check MIDI cables and Devices" I've connected my AMT8 to the computer (which is a PC) on the COM port. The unit 'works' according to control panel >> system >> devices, but no MIDI software can find the AMT ports. When I search in Sounddiver, it appears like Sounddiver only search through my soundcard's MIDI ports, and not the computer COM port! I have a Creamware Pulsar2 soundcard which is connected to the AMT8 interface (to control the synths/samplers from creamware)... What do I do!?!? I'm pretty sure this isn't a hardware problem. And reinstalling the drivers doesn't seem to help either. I even reinstalled Windows, the soundcard and everything else but nothing helps :(... I'm really desperate to get this working, lots of deadlines coming up Please help! /Jacob

Now I've discovered at least why the K2000 is not operating with SD. I don't know what I did but for some reason I've been able to get SD and Logic to coexist now peacefully (at least for the time being). Maybe because I'm using a song now that's not my autoload (?). Here's a wierd one though... No matter what port I set the K2000 to, the U8 LED indicates that SD is sending sysex to port 3 and *only* port 3. It matters not what port I set the K2000 to in the parameters box! SD is always sending sysex to the K2000 out of port 3. It is receiving fine from "any" but the K2000 is on port 2 and I got everything to work by swapping the U8 to K2000s to port #3. However...MIDI thru to the K2000 (notes, CC data) continues to adhere to the port selected in SD (i.e. #2) !!! My other 4 modules (D4, W/S AD, SY99, 01/V) work just fine. -Dan Alvarez

Since upgrading to Sounddiver 3.x the following modules stopped working: Yamaha ANx1 Access Virus they do not appear in the Installer- List. Roland JV-2080 crashes! So I go back to V2... PM 9500/G3-400, MacOS 8.6 or 9.1, 256MB, AMT8. Regardss Holger Engel.

I just received my Sounddiver 3.0 and have hit a snag in the setup. When trying to scan, I get a prompt saying it doesn't see my USB midi interface. It asks for either printer or modem connections.

I continue to have problems with SoundDiver 3.0.2 (Mac version), the MotorMix, and controller assignments. Here are some observations: -As previously mentioned, it is impossible to make controller assignments via dragging from the MotorMix window to the FS1R editor because of the IILEGAL INDEX messages. I have found, though, that these messages do not appear when making controller assignments in the Microwave II editor, so apparently the problem is somehow specific to individual editors. The following comments apply to the Microwave II editor. -The text labels for the MotorMix faders that appear in its LCD when assignments are made are lost when SoundDiver is shut down and then restarted. The assignments are still intact after restarting, but the text labels are not drawn in the LCD. However, the parameter name and value that are displayed when a fader or knob is rotated do work correctly. -If I assign a MotorMix fader to control the Decay parameter of the Filter envelope, the fader jumps back to its previous position after I move it. I move the fader, the parameter is updated correctly (I can see the envelope changing in the editor), but after I release the fader, the Decay parameter jumps back to its previous value and the MotorMix fader jumps back to its previous position. None of the three other Filter envelope parameters exhibit this problem, nor do the Amplitude envelope parameters. Since this happens with only this one parameter (although I have only assigned about a dozen parameters so far), I assume it is a problem with the editor and not my MIDI connections, etc. I would be interested to hear from anyone else who is using a MotorMix with SoundDiver, and what sort of experiences you are having. --Adam
