Could I Still Using Dp 4.0???????? Options

[rockmusichk2004]

I use MOTU 828mk2 and have the latest driver download, everything is OK except haven't got midi out from both hardware and software synths.
Is it due to still using DP 4.0? and Is it a must to update to 4.12?
Are there solutions to get rid of this midi problem if i keep on using my DP 4.0?

Hi, re Digital Performer' various revent updates,I think I've mentioned in a previous post that I've bought quite a few bits of fancy music software over the past few months from Turnkey in London in various phone transactions. So I now have DP4, Garritan PO and NI's Komplete set.......all in advance of my buying a G5 to put them in!!!.('still saving up!)
The unopened tantalising boxes have been sitting patiently on the shelf awaiting the new computers eventual arrival. Recently I went as far as prematurely unwrapping the packages and taking the various manuals out for a quick glance to see how much (if anything!) I can comprehend.

I was surprised and puzzled by my discovery that my DP4 is in fact a 'crossgrade' version.....(which I understand to mean that one is migrating to MOTU DP4 from another company's competing sequencing product) and instead of sending off a regisgration card as normal, there was a card advising me that my copy DP4 is a crossgrade; and most worrying that in order to qualify for future upgrades and fixes I should send off the card+ the *first page of the manual for that competing product*, which as DP4 is to be my first software sequencer I cant do!
I bought most of the software, incl DP, in one (rather expensive) single phone transaction. I most definately didnt ask the salesman for anything other than the full products. My main worry was getting the slightly complicated NI Komplete qualifying deal sorted out right, (ie buying one full price NI product.....eg 'Battery' so you can get the Komplete set at such a greatly reduced price.)

I'd never even heard of crossgrade versions till I read it on the card in the DP box, I made my purchases in good faith! I phoned Turnkey the other day to order some hardware this time, and mentioned my concern that they had sent me an crossgrade DP4, and that I was a trifle p****d off if this meant I'd be stuck with a non upgradable version, They just said " Oh, sorry, I didn't realise that" and said I should contact MOTU. I've emailed MOTU a few times but no reply as yet.
After reading about various pieces of music software's problems being magically sorted out by the latest upgrades and bug fixes , I'm worried that my sequencer will be out of date before I even use it!
I know a few of you use MOTU gear so must know the company's customer post sales friendliness (or otherwise!)
Any thoughts or advice?
