Hi,

OK...you early adopters have been working with Jag for a couple of days (or maybe you just waltzed into an Apple store and bought a new PowerMac ). What do you think? Any existing hardware working? Sound control panel features? Midi interface?

Come on we're dying to know!!

mmm

As a developer, I've been working in 10.2 for the last few months. So far all my gear works; thats a bunch of USB<->Midi and USB<->Audio interfaces.
In anycase, anything that is 'compliant' works. I also have a Roland SC-8820 and the 10.1 driver works flawlessly too.

The new application AUDIO MIDI Setup allows to to specify the audio settings for your interfaces, like 16/24 bits, buffer size, gain/volume and mute etc.
The MIDI side allows you to make 'virtual' connections between your hardware interface and 'ghosts' peripherals that are 'behind' them on the MIDI chain. It's exactly like the OMS one. It also allows you to rename the devices, but not the ports on each devices (that can be a problem, most devices calls their first port "Port 1")

As far as stability goes, the CoreAUDIO support for SoundFont is much more complete than in 10.1 (even if there are still bug that weren't fixed in 10.2 GM)

I have to say it is beautiful

Waiting for a friend to stop by home and install it on my "slow" titanium 400...
Kidding, but i'm really thinking 800MHz and a G4 are the minimum for os X... (remember windows PC are about 2GHz nowadays...)

Bye.
