Hi, I have several different Expanders and have been selecting the sounds to use under "Prg" on the Gold Logic Audio 4.7.0 from the "Arrange" window. Finding that the choice of sounds where limited to 128 using this method I decided to purchase Sound 3.0 and access the sounds of all banks. This now works fine. I can indeed access many more sounds but I find that using Sound Driver menus to select sounds is quite "Mouse Intensive" and needs concentration not to change anything else by error in the powerfull menus. Would anybody know the answer on how to easily access ALL the sounds from my expanders without risking modifying internal settings of the expanders and this with a minimal time and effort. If the sound selection can be done directly from the Gold Logic Arranger interface it's even better. Thanks 1000x, Best Regards, Eric, (Info: I may not have the latest versions, this is because this issue has been a long struggle. If necessary I will upgrade )

Dear folks at Emagic, Did any of you find time to look at the Win2K problems reported in message 10572 yet? Can you see if it's a driver-problem, or a bug in either LAG or SD? If you need more information I'll be happy to provide it. Best regards, Henrik Jensen

Hi everyone, Just a quick question Has anyone been able to scan for new instruments in Windows XP yet? I am using a Unitor 8 with latest driver and firmware update and it working great in Logic and if I add an instrument manually it work fine too. But if I do a search to find new instruments it freezes and I have to close Sounddiver. Also when I use the Unitor 8 software 3.04 it freezes looking for the Unitor 8. Anyone else has this problem or a suggestion System: PIII Windows XP Professional Delta 1010 Unitor 8 Serial Port Sounddiver 3.04 Logic Plat 4.8.1 Thanks Mark

Sdd 3.0.4 Windows Hello! I´ve found that Sdd keps a library open after saving it (manually or automatically) until closing Sdd. Now the problem was: The computer crashed while Sdd was running (and a lib was saved) and after restarting the lib was gone (Scandisk: Lost clusters found, diskspace made free...), means there was only a lib with size 0. If this is the usual result of a system hang I think this behaviour is quite dangerous. And there´s another problem with libraries: If a lib cannot be found (maybe for the reason above) the order of the other libs get disordered. It seems that the missing lib will simply be replaced by the remaining ones. This is quite annoying when trying to keep order using several instruments with many libs (subfolders in libs would be very helpful to have structural access to many sounds!) Regards Guenter

I confirm this. Will this be solved in the next update? Greetings, Bert Keizer.

Probably they don't freeze, but just take very long for scanning. This is due to a difference in memory handling between Windows 9x and NT. Workaround: set SoundDiver's input buffer size to 1 KB. -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Audio Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager

Does anyone know if SoundDiver authorisation will be covered with the new LAMP 5.0 dongle? It'd be nice to put an end to those CD authorisations completely.

ok, so I called the Emagic USA technical support line and told them that when I run Logic first, then SoundDiver that it does not detect my NordLead 2, and that I cannot choose a patch from the library. The support person told me this: "yeah, that has never worked very well. I can't get it to work. uh... sorry". What kind of support is this? What does he mean it doesn't work? Isn't that the basic funtionality of the program is as a library to select patches from while you are working on a song????? What the heck is going on here????

Hi, Im trying to use SD on an access virus to control the patches, while rerouting it to cubase on a seperate machine to do the recording. I have isolated my problem to the following. Sounddiver on the one machine will run the note on messages thru, but will restrict the flow of the sysex messages that are the "controller" msgs...ie filter etc. I know this is not the motu, because when placed on bypass it works fine. However, when I'm connected to the 95 machine, the sysex will not go thru to the other machine. Im running win95, with a pocket express and SD. any help would be GREATLY appreciated.... bEnjamin

Why don't you run SoundDiver on the same machine as Cubase? -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Audio Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager

I'd like Roland VP-9000 support as well -tom

Folks, Trying to get the XV-88 Module to do it's thing on my Win98 PIII 800 system, and I'm stumped. This thing is Beta, so I don't know whether I'm missing something or It is. Can anyone help? It DOES: - Sucessfully "Request" the memory contents and display them - Allow patch and performance edits and save them (Sweet!) - Do "something" in Auto-link mode It DOESN'T: - Allow me to simply select a patch in Sounddiver and have it be selected on the XV. I have to explicitly request it, and even this doesn't work for User pathes. For those, I get dumped into Performance mode with the patch I selected inserted as the active Part. This sucks. I would think that with AutoPlay on, I SHOULD get a midi out blip on my LED and see the selected Patch get selected on the XV with just a single click on a Patch (or Performance). - Succesfully give Logic a clue about what's inside the XV. When I do the "Set Logic Instrument" thing, it creates a GM device with the generic GM patches, even though the XV is the current device in Sounddiver. The current track gets switched to All Channels, but my XV memory contents are nowhere to be found (In Logic). The manual says that the instrument should show up in the Instruments layer of the Environment. It doesn't....? Any advice is welcome.

Michael, thanks for the super speedy reply... I have tried to run cubase and SD on the same machine, but I always seem to run into problems...i think my machine may be a little low on the resource side of things... one thing that Im wondering is whether I need to run something similar to hubis loopback in order to get them both to work, if not, then how do I route the sysex msgs to cubase from SD? thanks in advance, Benjamin --- In sounddiver-users@y..., Michael Haydn <mhaydn@m...> wrote: > At 20:04 +0000 28.01.02, sicrasta wrote: > >Hi, Im trying to use SD on an access virus to control the patches, > >while rerouting it to cubase on a seperate machine to do the > >recording.

No, it doesn't. It's the way it is designed. But I admit that it's a FAQ meanwhile. So this is from the (upcoming) next releases help files: Q:How can I audition a Patch or a Rhythm just by itself and not within a Performance?? A:Before auditioning, click the Temp Patch or the Temp Rhythm Patch and a small "E" will appear in its corner. Alternatively you can drag the Patch or the Rhythm on the Temp Patch or Temp Rhythm Patch. > - Succesfully give Logic a clue about what's inside the XV.

I created an environment with a lot of different multi instruments covering Presets, Expansions, Rhythms and so on. It currently resides under http://www.sax.de/~gacki/Environment_XV.zip and maybe you need to make a few adjustments (correct ports and so on). -- Malte Rogacki gacki@... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Don't forget to TURN ON THE SYNTHESIZER.

I use Sound Diver for a long while. Now I bought a Yamaha 02R Mixer. But if I install the 02R at the SD Setup, I get information, that there is no Editor programmed. Is this true. If the modul is not ready, why is it saled??? When will it be finished?

In this case, you still need Hubi's. You define a virtual MIDI cable and select it as the output in SoundDiver for the device you want to record SysEx for. In Cubase, this cable must be enabled as input. With Logic, this is much easier. You don't need Hubi's, and you simply start recording, even from within SoundDiver (it can remote control Logic's key commands). -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Audio Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager

Very frustrating. It seems in rare cases SoundDiver does not detect that Logic is already running and communicating with the AMT. I assume you are talking about launching SoundDiver while Logic is running. Does it work ok if you launch SoundDiver stand-alone? -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Audio Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager
