Hey guys and gals,
Up until this point I've been using Digital Performer 3 with a Mac G4 and a Digidesign Digi 001 running OS9.2. I've used it for audio only recording because it was stable and I dug the plug ins that came standard.

Yesterday I bought the Yamaha S90ES and am looking to do sequencing on the synth (with it synth as the master key and the playback for recording). The problem is that DP3 won't record or playback the midi. DP4.5 will record but will not play back.

I've gotten protools le to record and playback the midi and would consider using this but am not sure of the editing capabilities. The Pro Tools version I'm testing this out on is ancient (from around 91) I need something to sequence drums and to do extensive editing of each note to try to make the sequences more realistic. I would also love to be able to see the patches and select them from withing the software as well.

Does anybody have a suggestion on a solution with the Digi001? I am limited with it due to the fact that many of the newest OSX software doesn't support it.

If not, will DP 4.5 function normally with a MOTU 828 piece or something similar?

Thanks for your help in advance. It is greatly appreciated.
