Why I am not allowed access to the beta version? It functions as a control. Since it is still a beta test, Emagic is looking to see how the software is going to work in final release. You want to see how it works with Logic and the latest version of the OS, first, as this is going to represent the majority of users. FWIW- The beta2 seems to have improved things a bit, I'm only using SD to edit my Roland Fantom and my Korg Wavestation SR, and it seems to be fine with both. Eddie IMS

I used to own an S5000 an found that Akai's software (Akai.Sys) for that product was far superior than anything that might be found in Soundiver, especially given that it's sampler and not a ROM synth, and requires sample librarian functions. I'd probably still own my Akai had they been a little quicker about delivering the OSX version. Still, EXS24 is so much easier to use. I'm curious why you'd prefer SD3 over Akai.Sys given that it doesn't handle the sample loading, and would likely be a generic adaptation at best. I currently have an 01/W rack and haven't had any data dump problems with SD. I used to have an 01/W keyboard and experienced garbled names. The problem in that case was a bad RAM battery on the motherboard. Replacing that restored it all to 100%. It's a fairly common computer type battery and can be easily user replaced. That might be the cause of your problems.

Also here's my personal very small SD wish list: 1. Akai S3000XL/S6000/Z8 support on both 9 and X. 2. Support for E-Mu EOS 4 features (I know, I know, but still...). 3. Better support for Korg 01/W on both 9 and X (program names and other data still garbled on data dumps from SD). Mucho thanks again. Best, Andy

Why I am not allowed access to the beta version? Not Read the SD group for the last 3 months then?? Not heard of Logic's USB Dongle protection in the last 3-4 years?? Old chestnut, not worth going over again, and again and again........

I'd like to have snapshots of all my equipment (a bunch of XL machines, Emulator and 01/W, also Z8 would be added immediately if it were supported by SD) for (program names, filter/env/LFO settings and stuff like that) for every song so I can re-create all my settings in one go. > > I currently have an 01/W rack and haven't had any data dump problems > with SD.

Mine works fine, but he was not able to dump the data correctly whatever he did. I'll forward your advise to him. Thanks a lot. Best, Andy

Is the bug fixed that caused the internal sounds on your synths to be overwritten when editing? There's not much info in the read-me file..... Regards - Colin

Has anybody tried using the wavestation module at all in osx? It is very erratic, to the point that I can't even download a single bank reliably. This is true with both my wavestation A/D an SR, both wired directly into an amt8. I even tried installing a fresh OSX with just sounddiver on it. Has anybody else had any experiences with this? Cheers

I have not been able to install the Beta 2 of SD. It starts to install then states that there is an error and to try again. I have tried several times and re-downloaded the Beta2 file from Emagic as well. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? 10.3.4

Hello to everybody. I am a new user of SoundDiver and i have the following problem. I need to use it, with a Roland GP100 and with a TC G-Major. With the GP100, i don't get him to connect in no way and with the G-Major if that it connects and he sends me correctly the presets, but the presets names, it erases them. Somebody can give me some advice?. Why this makes? Thank you José PD. Excuse my English, it is very bad.

You didn't write which kind of operating system and MIDI interface you use; I suspect the problem lies with the MIDI interface or the driver for the interface. -- Malte Rogacki gacki@... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Don't forget to TURN ON THE SYNTHESIZER.

Hello. The operating system that I use is Windows XP and the interface midi is Emagic A62m. Thank you.

Nothing seems to be any better in my case. In fact, it actually appears worse than the public beta 1. My Trinity does not scan as well as before. If, for example, I scan a bank of ten sounds, I will still be left with about 50% of the patch names greyed out, as if they were still unknown. Also, the Trinity Insert Flip menu is still a problem. If you select this parameter with the mouse, it will lock up Diver. The only way to use it, is to select an adjacent parameter and use the arrow keys to select it and then +/- to alter it. As far as the saving problems go, well, they are still an issue here. Overall, I think the beta 2 is worse than beta 1.

So after replacing the battery I spent hours trying to get the beta to reload internet downloaded sysex and midi versions of the factory ram with no success. Finally, last night fired up an old Atari and Xor and found the factory ram I'd stored and forgotten there years ago. Transferred without a glitch. Xor & Atari....no fancy icons, few bells and whistles but still does exactly what it was designed to do 20??? Years ago. CWB

It works fine with the old Sounddiver running under classic, the wavestation is very temperamental, I know, but I know all the work arounds and this really does seem to be a problem with the wavestation driver in the beta.

I really hope that you can implement the bugfixes that myself and others have posted about. SoundDiver is an indispensable tool in many studios and deserves to be completed at last. We do appreciate what is being done though..... Regards - Colin

I just bought an AMT8, after my opcode studio IV finally went to Valhalla. I gotta tell you it was an unnecessary ordeal. The manul says to click on "setup" on the CD - but there is no such thing nor a unitor program - except for in the system 9 folders. I ended up going to the Emagic website and downloading the Unitor8 and the core midi. However, the core midi refused to install... saying only that it would not install "(null)". It turned out I didn't need it after all. The manual said to start up the unitor app, and load the synths - I was expecting it to show the studio set up like Soundiver ...but nothing would show up which is really confusing. Nothing seemed to be happening at all. The manual further said in step 2 to open the app, then in step 3 said to open the app again. Then no clear directions. I finally opened logic and then the USB port was just there like magic. In the end, pretty painless - as long as I ignore all the documentation which 100% useless. It seems to work great ... except the RS422 light keeps lighting up even though its not connected at all because I am only using the USB cable.

It's as easy as enabling it in Audio MIDI Setup and Logic in X or Logic (and OMS if necessary) in 9. The app mentioned in the docs is a special stripped down version of SoundDiver called Unitor8 Control (9 and X). If you own SD there's no need to DL that app, just use SoundDiver instead. Best, Andy

tpb, 10.3.4 beta 2 installer asks for permission, starts with installation, but after a second says: there were errors. please try again. trying to find a solution, i had thrown beta 1 out of the system. did not help. when trying afterwards to run insller of beta 1 again, got the same result. what could go wrong? (had disconnected pheriphery, tried with xs key de-attached, ...) all the rest on my machine works and installs flawlessly. will appreciate any cue regards marko kosnik
