After searching the web for instructions how to replace the battery, i didnt found much instructions or dis...

Hi, i have a motu midi express 128 running on usb 3.0 and its giving me nightmares in Logic, if anyone knows of a fix i came across this thread when searching for a fix.. Cheers Jakob Hello Jakob, i gave up running the MOTU on an USB 3.0 bus, i use a Emagic AMT-8 instead which runs proper under Log...

Hello Vintage Synth Explorers :) Today, i released the last EP in a cycle of 3 EPs, dedicated to Dubtechno and Deep House. Each of those 3 EPs features 6 tracks, produced using hardware gear and outboard effects only. Now, as a special, there will be a remix-edition of those 3 EPs, bundled onto one ...

Sounds like the time is ripe for someone to design a good, fully compatible (with updated drivers), USB3 MIDI interface (at least 2x2, and 4x4 or 6x6), and bring them to market for a reasonable price.. I think that wont happen the next years. USB 3.0 was released some years ago, if there would have...

But anyway, good to know that the Fastlane also works with the newer Macs and on the USB 3.0 bus. The Fastlane would have been my backup if i wouldnt have discovered the good, old Emagic AMT-8. As i figured out, on Yosemite (for example) there is the MIDI driver for the AMT-8 already pre-installed w...

Upgrade : as far as i figured out, the good, old Emagic AMT-8 runs proper under USB 3.0 and even OSX 10.10 Yosemite Solved : If the generic Apple driver doesnt work for you, go to the Apple Support Website and download the Unitor Family-Driver 2.5. What follows is a little handcraft to get it insta...

With both Mac and Windows OS releases on the horizon as well, it's a lousy time to be putting together a new computer-based rig True words! Its getting worse and worse. This gear aint working, that gear aint working. It can be that it works, it can be that it dont. As i figured out, the problem isn...

- If so, what MIDI interface are you using, that actually works correctly? - MOTU, in contrast, claims their USB 2 MIDI interfaces are compatible.. t seems to be a really bad situation. I also did some further research. It seems the manufacturers of MIDI-Interfaces and MIDI-Controllers really dont ...

Oooops... That is typical. This always happens to me...

Be happy that you dont have to repair a Yamaha CS-80 or a Roland Jupiter-8

Also right. I forgot this as i am used to boot the OS on my other AKAIs from floppy drive.

I guess you have that CF device by Lotharek, right? Recommendable?

gmeredith wrote:Are you sure you're not meaning SCSI to IDE adapter? ie hooking up a normal IDE hard drive to an EMU SCSI port using an adapter?

You´re right. That was what i meant originally. My fault. I meant IDE instead of PCI.

No, the internal HD is placed where the floppy drive was placed before. So, in fact, my ESI-4000 has only an internal HD, which is great because the OS is booted faster from the HD than from the floppy. Because of the internal HD there is no further drive like Zip drive or anything else. The HD fits...

Marco - do you have any kind of extra PSU for the SCSI HD? I've read that the ESI PSU is not strong enough to handle an internal HD. I am back with the infos i promised to share here. I contacted the guy i bought the ESI-4000 with the internal 15 GB harddisk from. He said, the internal HD is connec...
