Dp4 Can't Find My Midi Source Options

[andrewmaxr]

I just got dp4. Fired it up with a yamaha motif. Audio Midi setup finds the motif without incident. But when i open dp, I can't assign the motif ins and outs to any midi track. The DP midi monitor finds the motif, and even does its happy blinking light trick when i plink on the keys.

any advice or reactions would be most helpful.

thank you

I feel your pain...

I just upgraded from dp3 to dp4 and can't get to the expansion banks on my Roland synths. I'm debating whether to go back to v3 for the time being or to try and edit the ugly looking files out in the /Library/Audio/MIDI Devices folder. I'll probably try the editing route first because it will help improve my data entry skills.

If everyone sends an e-mail or twenty to Motu about the patchlist problem, then they will hopefully direct us all to some sort of editing tool soon (or maybe ship us all free versions of Unisyn for OSX and throw in MachFive as well).

Let's be realistic - somebody in upper management at MOTU made a decision to release this product a bit too soon. If you decide to e-mail MOTU tech support, let me suggest that you try and contact the person in upper management that made the executive decision instead of hounding the tech support people. The MOTU tech people already know there is a patchlist editing problem but I doubt they can do much about it.

Also something MOTU told me last week: If you are a Unity user and are planning on switching over to MachFive in the future, you cannot take the .uds sample libraries with you. According to MOTU - MachFive will not import Unity .uds files. I suspect that this is because they are now in direct competition with Unity.
