Well, it seems that this was the quietest non-release release so far in OS X that I know of:
http://store.yahoo.com/cakewalkdirect/metr...o6upgrades.html Apparently registered owners of Metro 5 and Metro SE are now able to purchase 6.0 (with OS X support) as an upgrade through 12 January 2003. I guess that's going to be the "official" public release date. (?) Any registered Metro users out there who've made the jump? |

Thanks but I think I just described the issue poorly. I use 2 ports off of my US-428 (plus the controller port) and an old serial interface at the same time using OMS with no problems.
The controller problem occurs because Metro takes remote control information based on a MIDI channel but does not discern between ports for the remote control data. So, if you choose MIDI channel 1 for remote control data it will accept it from MIDI channel 1 from any port (and all ports enabled in MIDI Setup:Record From). In the case of the US-428 in "4 banks mode" (what seems most appropriate for Metro to me) you'll end up using controllers like bank select, mod wheel, pan, hold pedal, ... and if you are using these controllers on any other port with the same MIDI channel number you'll suddenly have your faders jumping around when you didn't mean it. I guess in my case I could accept a mere 46 MIDI channels (1 channel tied up in the US-428 across all ports + 15 for port 1 + 15 for port 2 + 15 for port 3) and then it's no big deal. I just happen to have a bunch of keyboards that are 8 port multitimbral and it is convenient to have something like: port 1, channels 1-8 for synth 1 port 1, channels 9-16 for synth 2 port 2, channels 1-8 for synth 3 ... Make sense? |
