Dp 3 Mac Midi Problems, free midi vs oms Options

[bclements]

hey everyone. OMS seems much better at finding my midiman sport 2x2. Freemidi just finds my keyboard and ignores my midiman all together. There are alot of annoying default settings through out DP that are set to OFF! A Control panel that is under the apple menu items for the Motu Fire Wire to monitor through the sound manager instead of controlling it with in DP for example. Anyway, blah blah...my question:

Does freemidi suck or what. Should I use OMS? If so, How do I control which midi software DP3 uses. Once you choose FREEMIDI, your stuck unless you re-install?

I thought Cubase was bad, but I'm getting wierded out here..please help.

Later,

FreeMidi is fine. Although I can't figure out OMS either.
I think this would solve your problem : http://www.motu.com/english/techsupport/ac...d=32970&-search

Just to let you know that your Midiman interface and Free midi are not compatible. The Midiman only supports OMS.

Free clue: FreeMIDI emulates OMS. It's an option in "FreeMIDI Preferences" that you can turn on during set-up.

aah, what a shame, if you were using logic you wouldn't have to bother with either of these pieces of c#*p.
it's well documented on this site already, oms sucks, freemidi sucks it,s a%se.
as i don't use dp3 or cubase i can't say for sure, but i don't see a reason to use either.
surely, like logic, they have their own midi drivers that can be configured and used instead of oms etc?
it's got to be worth a try, logic is so much better without either that i could never go back...
good luck!

I really like Freemidi, its alot easier for me to understand and get through, the problem is alot of stuff, mainly from Midiman can only work with OMS, For awhile I used freemidi under OMS, meaning I interfaced with OMS and it told Freemidi what to do.

just like windows and DOS
I didn't like this and decided to get rid of the midiman and just use things that could understand freemidi
