Hi there. I'm brand new to this group and this software, so please forgive any redundancies in subject matter. I have SoundDiver 2.1.3 for Windows. First, whenever I try to install a new instrument, say a Roland SC-55, the software crashes. I don't have a manual BTW. Is there a newer version of the program. If so, does it support the following synths: Hammond-Suzuki XK-2, Kurzweil K1200 (oldie goldie), Kurzweil Micropiano, and Roland SC 88? I will continue to troubleshoot, but a leg up with this program would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chuck Michaelson

Dear Michael With SD3 I got a wierd responsed from EX5R editor module and VL70m adaptation, Sound didn't work correctly on EX5R editor and It couldn't make any change to my VL70m when used the VL70 adaptation. Did you found the problem ? Thanks Best Regards -- Prohm Snitwong prohm@... http://www.prohm.com

SoundDiver 3.0 would inform you about this when launched the next time. To make SD 2.1.3 work, disable all MIDI drivers in file C:WindowsWin.ini, section [SoundDiver] (by changing then ending of all lines in this section from "=1" to "=0"). Now re-enable every port one by one to find the offending driver. >I don't have a manual BTW. ??? Did you buy it used, or what? >Is >there a newer version of the program. Yes, the current version is 3.0.2, however the 3.0 upgrade is not free.

Regarding the EX5, make sure you have the right version 1.05 or higher. VL70-m: do you have a connection from the VL70-m back to the computer? As the VL70-m has a soft-thru feature which cannot be switched off, this might confuse SoundDiver. -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Audio Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager

In the abscence of an editor for the Boss GT5 guitar effects processor in SoundDiver (hint, hint) I have been running a PC editor under Virtual PC on my Mac. Having got all to run smoothly and Midi ports found, I am getting a "check-sum" error when I try to send patches back to the GT-5. Apparently this does not happen when the editor is run on a real PC under Windows. Can anybody tell me what a "check-sum error" might be, or why this might happen with an emulator running. Many thanks for any help at all. -- Best Wishes Steve Coates

Chris The Digi 001's MIDI port does not support SysEx. Send a complaint to Digidesign... -- You have to update to DAE-DIRECT I/O-OMS DRIVER- 5.1 to be able to use SY / Sex with the DIGI 001. Digi says that this issue has been fixed but I did not try it http://www.digidesign.com/download/ The only thing is that on digi's site they do not give all the 5.1 drivers, there is one missing !!!!!!. Normally to get all the 5.1 drivers you must update to 5.1 but the driver that is missing is easily available on the web. Michael do not forget to update your notes Have a good day Cyril P.S.

Michael, Good to hear that your future plans include support for the plug-in boards. What about CS6x/S80/S30 Performances? Do you plan to include support for the plg cards in a Performance? Even if I couldn't edit the PLG cards native "board voices" through SoundDiver, it would be a great convenience to be able to create and edit Performances which include PLG cards. As I understand it, the PLG cards show up as a Part in your Performance, and you can edit certain parameters, which are offsets to the parameters on the board itself. These are the parameters I'm talking about. These parameters are part of the Performance, it would be greate to be able to edit those, even if we couldn't edit the plg native board voices. This is separate from the PC/Mac issue. Regards, Richard >As Yamah will provide software editor plug-ins for their plug-in >boards, our long-term plans are to add support for these plug-in >editors in SoundDiver. This will take some time however, as their >editor plug-ins currently exist on Windows only, and Yamaha wants to >wait for Mac OS X on the Mac platform, as they use COM (Component >Object Model) which only exists on Mac OS X. >Beste Gruesse - best regards, >Michael Haydn

Hi, Can somebody help me with VL-Sounds. I own a PLG150-VL card which is compatible with the VL70-m. I downloaded a lot of voices in formats like 1bk, 1vc, all, avc, sng, xcl. For some of them I have also the software. But most of these software can't transform these files to sysex or mid, which are the file-types I can use. I know some of the sounds could be created on the VL1, but as far as I know it should be quit compatible with the VL70-m if version 2 software was used to create those sounds. Or am I wrong on that ? At least any help, tips, utility, or adress is welcome. Thanks in advance. Joris

Hi all, Could use some help. Here's the setup: SD Mac 3.0.2 (also tried 3.0.1) New Virus SD Module, downloaded from Access, last modified March 1, 2001, 1,994,409 bytes on disk Unitor 8 MkII Virus b 4.02 Trying to get banks of sounds, build libraries, etc. Selected various entries, from all to banks, and did "Request". Communication appears to happen fine, progress bar moves, but when communication is finished, no patch names are visible in the entry areas, not gray names, not anything. I am able to load the M@ library, and transmit voices to the Virus, where they show up in the virus, and also show up in the SD device entry bank. I have other devices working fine. Any idea what might be going on? Thanks in advance for any advice on getting it working. Casey

Greetings! I'm in my third day of attempting to get the software to recognize my Proteus modules. The technical support line at Emagic could not help me, and suggested I join a user group. I could not find out if the modules that I have are too old to be compatible with SD. I have seen postings about the Proteus 2000 that seem successful. If anyone could advise me, I would be most grateful. A. Can't Scan. I have tried Sounddiver 3.0, 3.0.1, and 3.0.2. The last version, 3.0.2 crashed, and I was advised to go back to an earlier version. None can communicate with my sound modules properly. If I try "Scan All", I am told by SD that I have four Proteus, two cabled to my computer, and two not cabled. If I chose "Proteus" from the list of scannable modules, and choose "Scan", I get the same result. Sometimes I get different ID numbers for the machines. B. SD 3.0 was eventually successful at scanning, but left out several banks of patches. On the sound module, I would manually send MIDI data to my computer, "user presets", and "factory presets", and saw banks that were printed in faint type suddenly become bold, meaning the software was accepting the banks that it had missed during its automatic scan. Nonetheless, banks covering patches number 192-383 were inaccessible on the Proteus 1/XR, and 128-191 on the Proteus 2/Orchestral. Is there a way to get every patch recognized? C. Is there a way to configure the software and the sound modules so that the sounds can be played by the keyboard while editing goes on. The 'Audition' and 'AutoPlay' functions send one note of a particular octave, and doesn't allow enough of a range to truly gauge the impact of editing changes. Any advice would be appreciated. I purchased the software to save me some time editing, and after three days of trying unsuccessfullyl to get it to work, I am about ready to throw in the towel. Thank you. Billy

A checksum error is a hint that some data has been transmitted incorrectly or not at all. Probably the emulation is not that good that the MME MIDI driver can send out MIDI bytes correctly to the MIDI interface. -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Audio Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager
