MIDI Interfaces / Re: a quick note about Serial port adapters + OSX

« Last post by chrisNova777 on August 27, 2024, 07:28:20 AM »

apparently after a video chat with my friend he revealed his studio 128x working in both os9 + osx on his sawtooth g4... his works flawlessly.. mine didnt work.. not sure what the difference is.. i know he has a G4port serial adapter by griffin tech and he used the griffin gport osx software, thats one major difference..  wheras mine was an actual Geethree stealth serial port, using the geethree stealth serial midi plugin for osx softwrae... or maybe its a different rom chip on my model of studio 128x? actually i have another 128x i can test with.. maybe ill just start with that..

Tiger (Apr 2005) / Ableton Live Lite 4.14 somehow working on OSX Tiger 10.4.11

« Last post by chrisNova777 on August 26, 2024, 04:14:33 PM »

just a quick note to say , surprisingly this works! even tho ableton live 4 was originally released when osx Jaguar wasnt even out yet... not sure how but it works.the 32bit MacOSX installation of live 4.14 can be downloaded from any ableton account on their website.

why would anyone wanna run 4 instead of 8?
well ableton live lite 8 seems to be limited to 4 outputs (2 x stereo).. (my license anyway)
but ableton live lite 4 seems to be limited to 8 physical outs. (4 x stereo)

of course if you were to use the old PC keygen/crack then you would of course have no limitations!!!

i however was able to activate my legal copy of live lite 4... which involves process outlined here: https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409113348242-Authorizing-older-versions-of-Live-1-9-6-2#h_01FKGC1GRYKQTNPQ7JATKA0AB7.. it saves a txt file with a big long code... u double click it or drag it to live to activate

MIDI Interfaces / a quick note about Serial port adapters + OSX

« Last post by chrisNova777 on August 26, 2024, 02:03:53 PM »

every  archived forum post ive found online with people claiming that their midi interface is working under OSX connected to a serial port adapter -- (griffin or GeeThree) -- happpened to be with a MOTU MTP (or MTP AV) or Studio 4/5 in "MTP Emulation mode"

so i was having trouble trying to get my studio 128x (which works fine in os9) to work in osx, i had installed the stealth port software for osx, and audio midi setup looked good, but it just didnt receive any actual midi notes. wheras after i installed the MTP AV. (non-usb) it worked right away.

so if your looking for an interface to pair with your high performance G4 mac... (mdd etc) then your best off with an actual Motu MTP AV connected via serial.. works in both os.. os9 + osx (panther + tiger confirmed)

ill try to do some more testing soon with the studio 4 configured in MTP emulation mode and add more info later.

midi - Parallel (PC) / Re: 19" Motu Midi Timepiece AV (non-usb) (1996)

« Last post by chrisNova777 on August 26, 2024, 11:24:00 AM »

i can confirm that i have the original Motu Midi Timepiece AV (non-usb) up and running
 via mac serial cable into a geethree Stealth port on a 1.25ghz MDD running OSX TIGER 10.4.11.
and best of all, It also works in os9. which was totally not the case with the studio 128x which seemed to want to work but i never got any actual midi signals + lights happening from the sequencer.

audio midisetup recognized the MTPAV (non-usb) and its able to send + receive midi on all channels & 8 ports. apparently this setup will also work with a studio4 or studio5 opcode interface in 'MTP emulation mode' but that ive not tested yet. (to be continued...)

also confirmed working in Logic Pro 7,  midi ports show up in logic as "Port X (Stealth Serial Port)"
also confirmed midi working in Ableton Live 7&8, there it shows "Standard interface (port X)" but you can change this in AUDIO MIDI SETUP to show whatever you want to name it...
