Midi Mac-pc

Hello all,

I have an old PC, which I’d like to use in my set up with my Powerbook.

I’d like to use Logic to send midi data to the PC to use it as a sound module.


So, could I get a soundcard for my PC, run my x-stations midi out to the PC’s midi in, then run the output from the PC’s soundcard to the X-stations input and record onto a channel in logic?

Would it work? Could I control parameters on say Absynth on the PC, with logic on the Powerbook?

Are there any other ways to incorporate a pc into a Mac setup?


Peace & Many Thank

Format the hard drive

Hello,

How do I format the HD on my Powerbook please. Should I Zero it? What does writting 0's do anyway

Once done do I just book it from the OSX install disk?

Peace and Many Thanks

X-station Users, I Need You Help

Hi all, cool forum.

I’ve just got my grubby mitts on a X-Station. I’m having lots of fun controlling this and that within Logic & Live, loving the KS engine.

I don’t have manual as it came from a friend who misplaced it and I cant print off the PDF from the Novation website as I don’t have access to a printer at work with out getting caught and have no access to the inter-web at home. I know, I know, it’s a tuff life I have. So I thought someone here may be able to help me.

What I would like to do is record the X-Station’s KS synth into a Logic track. I’m using a G4 Powerbook and don’t have another soundcard apart from the X-Station itself. I’m using the X-Station as my main output straight into my monitors & only has the 2, left/right. It has a S/PDIF output. I know nothing about S/PDIF. Can I run S/PDIF output into one of the inputs or will that create a looping, blow my speakers to piece’s effect. It there a way I can do this with out getting another soundcard/interface, can you even run 2 soundcards on a Powerbook.

Any advice would be appreciated largely

Many Thanks
