in addition to releasing the caps lock, you may wish to also learn how to use english propperly, as opposed to the way Prince has promoted it's use through the last 20 years... Just a snarky remark before i lay into the issue at hand;

I eventually gave up on the quattro and got an EMI 2|6 which immediately removed the crashing on both OS9 and OSX in Reason, Nuendo, and Live, so I'm pretty confident now that the quattro was the main problem.

That said, the drivers for the device don't include the MIDI side of things, I know one would think that a company making a combo audio/midi device would write a driver for just such a thing but... You have to go back to the m-audio site and do a search for generic midi drivers, i can't remember exactly which one, but i think it was the same as the Uno or 1X1 midi interfaces.

Once you have both the quattro AND the midi driver installed the quattro will work as advertised, until it freezes your audio in a loop and takes down your system ;-)

Anyone else giving up on the quattro may find it tricky to uninstall the drivers from OSX, in fact i couldn't figure out a way to do it without booting into OS9 and removing the files listed in the OSX installation recipt. m-audio's installer has no uninstall option (at least not when i was using it)
