Oms Confusion Aarrghh!!!, OMS + Reason + Cubase=poop Options

[gorillacake]

Hello all,
O.k., I'm using an imac g4 with reason and cubase for software and an audiosport quattro with a crappy casio for a midi controller. The thing is, I had everything working great until I switched my casio for another casio. Well actually that worked too, but when I went to switch back to the original casio, no more midi control. I've created new OMS studio setups and I reinstalled the quattro drivers, and the midi still won't work. When I try and test the studio in OMS, there's no spooky voice saying midi recieved. Bummer. I've made sure reason is using the quattro for midi but still nothing. Plus, now I can't rewire reason and cubase together. What am I doing wrong. Maybe it's my midi cables, who knows, although they should be fine. Should I just reinstall everything? Help!

It is, because it's an old, buggy, unupdated for more than 3 years now piece of software used up to OS 9 for implementing midi on macs (htere's also MOTU freemidi for example). All that because of the failure of Opcode and its buy out by Gibson.

hpoefully we have something top notch for audio and midi running in OS X (MidiCore and AudioCore, part of it is from the original developer of OMS who's working for Apple for 3 years now).

Now, OMS is old, buggy, temperamental…  but it happens to work most of the time. most, that is

Now I'd like that someone knowledgeable in Logic come and explain how to set up the basic in midi in Logic whithout OMS. It'd be community service  :laugh:  :laugh:

OMS buggy? I've never heard that one before. To quote the OMS author from his OMS petition:

"Q: Is OMS compatible with Mac OS 9.x?

A: Yes, to the best of our knowledge, and contrary to some persistent rumor-mongering. All of the significant problems we're aware of have been due to bugs in other developers' OMS drivers."

I've never heard anyone call OMS itself buggy before. The way developers choose to support OMS may themselves have bugs, but I believe OMS to be solid as a rock!

Cheers...
