I cannot seem to get DP3 to allow me to input midi info. from my
synth. Here's the setup:

Yamaha S80 synth into MOTU Fastlane USB. Sequencer is DP3. Hardware
is MOTU 1224 interface on a G4/400 using OS9.

I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, and whatnot a jillion
times with OMS and/or Free Midi and every combination imaginable. Although my S80 is in my OMS/FreeMidi studio setup, I still cannot get DP3 to even list the S80 or anything, for that matter, as a possible INPUT. It lists the IAC driver as the chosen OUTPUT, giving me the option to select the S80 as output if I want. How do I get this configured right?

Another glitch: upon the advice of another user, I uninstalled
FreeMidi and OMS and started over, installing and setting up OMS
first, and then FreeMidi. It seemed to detect all of the hardware
fine, and then I added my S80 as another device at the beginning of
the chain. Here's the glitch. Now when I do anything with midi
information, my computer slows to a halt, the arrow slowly jumps
around the screen, and then the whole thing locks up. This was not
happening before I reinstalled the OMS and FreeMidi stuff.

I'm somewhat new to this, and I can't seem to figure out how to get
midi info from one place to the other. My S80 is transmitting on ch.
1 and the IAC is set to receive on all, I believe. I'm not sure
though. How do I configure my setup so that the info. will at least
get to DP3? Any help would help!

Thanks in advance,

Bill

IAC is a way for apps to share midi on the soft only side

Inter Application Communication is a 4 slot bus in OMS it's for soft synths, reason rebirth retroas1 Unity etc.

Your synth should NOT be on that bus but on a 'hard' port. So OMS is misconfigurated

If you don't need OMS stay with freemidi alone it'll be better (timing)

Suppress the IAC port (I can't tell you by memory, my config is out at this time)

manually declare the S80 to the real midi port.

hope it'll run this time
