Hello, this is my first time on this site... I use a G3 (OS 9.2 )and have a Midisport 2x2 with an external keyboard. Recently had computer reformatted and ever since I have not been able to use the keyboard. Midi sounds can only be generated via the on-screen keyboard and I keep getting alert messages each time I start Cubase e.g. 'OMS drivers could not be loaded'. I have reinstalled OMS and revised the Midi and OMS set-ups but no dice..I get no Midi inputs on screen from the keyboard. Could it be my extensions set-up?If so, what are correct ones to be enabled/disabled in this kind of set-up? I've tried all sorts, but the truth is I just don't know enough about how it all works. Can anyone enlighten me? Or know anyone/thing that can?! Thanks, Elly.

oms hasn't been updated since os8.6 days or thereabouts. obviously, loads of hierarchical changes in the os since then. it could be considered lazy programming to rely on oms, the app has to communicate with the os via oms and vice versa, rather like you and i using an interpreter when we both speak the same language! implementing this kind of code into the os as in the case of 'x' makes this an entirely different ballgame. doug (oms author) was/is obviously a very talented programmer, but i feel would probably agree that although vastly improving on apple's midi manager then, was never the ultimate solution. what he and the 'next' guys are doing now is writing a replacement for midi manager, ie a midi solution that's part of the os! 'opinions are like arses, everybody's got one' peace, later...

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTOP! OMS IS dead. (just like OS 9 )) The code belongs to Opcode still, Gibson stopped the developpement after buying Opcode. And that's all. finito. end of line. It works if you're patient, but it's not upgraded anymore FOR 3 YEARS (is that enough ? The fact that it's the main recognised midi support for mac doesn't tell that it's the best (rant rant rant) the fact is that the guy behind OMS works still, and well thank you, and at Apple. But there's not a line of OMS (fortunately) into OS X, he had better ideas, lucky guy And if you want to know some are already using midi under OSX (but it's not the place to talk about it, here it's OS 9) My late in sunday night rant (should go to bed)

Galaxy Plus will not run under OSX.3. It will only run in OS9.
As for some of the other stuff in this thread, I've used OMS with Vision,Studio Vision, DP3,Cubase 5,Nuendo and Logic Platinum over the years and never had the "problems" some of you seem to be imagining.
for 99% of users ,OMS runs very well and does exactly what it is supposed to. The fact it hasnt been updated in 5 years is completely irrelevant to this. User error , or not properly running the setup mode cause most of the problems.
To the person who started this thread... did you follow the instructions in the Cubase manual? Do you HAVE a manual? If not, tough. If you use [k] apps with no manuals,you get problems like this.
