Hello all. Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer towards my problem. I'm running Logic Platinum (which I just upgraded to from Silver) on a G4, so
naturally, I don't have enough USB Ports: I purchased a 4-port hub to accomodate the USB Dongle that Platinum users must have, my keyboard, and my MIDI sport
USB interface (before, when I was using Silver, which uses CD authorization, not the dongle, I simply plugged in my keyboard and the USB midi interface to the 2 ports
on the back of the G4). Got that?

Well, now I can't seem to get Logic to recognize my MIDI interface (there is NO Midi through). I'm using OMS, but I don't know if I need that. I've tried shutting OMS
off and letting Logic use the built-in MIDI driver, but it doesn't work. I also tried connecting my keyboard to the Hub, and plugging the interface directly to the back, but
then my keyboard doesn't work. I hope this isn't too confusing.

Thanks again for any help you can give.

bye

Hi kelitupu
I use Logic on a G3 450 and I just plug the dongle into the left of the computer keyboard. (You should have two USB ports on your keyboard, one for the mouse , and one for the Logic dongle)   That way, I have the two USB ports on the back of the tower free for the computer keyboard and my MIDI interface (AMT8)  
Also, I've set up my friend's G4 with a MIDI-sport interface and I'm positive that you have to use OMS w/ that interface. Make sure to use vers. 2.3.8
           
       Hope this helps -- I will watch for your reply on this forum

                                                 

hi dabr,

Thanks so much for your reply! Everything you said was absolutely correct -- I have tried plugging the dongle into my keyboard and also OMS -- both worked.

Thanks for your help.

take care
