Raising The Dead

just posting this in case someone has done exactly this with success....

set-up:
mac powerbook alu (the shit one with the cpu of an led watch) - FW800 version.
mac os x 10.3 something
ableton live 6
edirol ua-20
EMU E6400 (external sampler)
Roland PC300 kybrd cntrllr
Novation sl remote 100

desire:
midi control of EMU external sampler from within LIVE 6
audio from E6400 tp be recorded in LIVE.

i have tried:
all possible power up sequences
implementation of UA-20 advanced driver switch before,during and after Live 6 initialisation
creation + configuration of new midi ports in MAC OS x Audio/Midi set up

results:
cant see the Edirol as a midi device in ableton live 6 (but can see it as AUDIO i/o option)
can see the pc 300 as midi device - in fact LIVE seems to pick this device as its #1 favourite default midi
can see the nOVATION as midi device in LIVE
PC300 midi out direct to EMU samper - works fine (but i want midi control from LIVE)

QUESTION
there is a midi routing app quoted often here - cant remember what it is called though
can anyone guide me to it?
is it all a driver issue between OSX and Edirol ( checking their site in a minute)?
should i accept the LIVE choice of the PC300 as 'dominant' midi out and look for a midi link to the emu VIA the pc300 ( i dont know if the pc300 accepts an incoming midi signal via usb - it does have a midi out but is this intened solely for independently linking to external synths?

any answers?

Tascam Us 428 & Cubase Sl3

My friend's girlfriend just called me, apparently my friend is standing on the ledge outside their 11th floor apartment and is refusing to come down unless................

I can tell him if his Tascam US 428 will ever work under Cubase SL3

i swear that I have tried everything round at his place before now
and we have never succeeded in getting the two to work together

has anyone (like little alien dude maybe?) got any ideas???

its (obviously) really getting him down
