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

"Sorry, sending MIDI to external hardware is not available in your current set of features"

interesting. i dont think any of the other live lite versions from 8 onward limited any midi connectivity!

i think this was only in version 4 as midi clips were brand new in that version. i dont remember seeing this message when using live lite 4 on OS9 tho! strange! maybe its only in the osx only version...

Firewire Audio Interfaces / Re: 19" Motu 828 MKII (2004)

« Last post by chrisNova777 on August 28, 2024, 08:08:53 AM »

originally announced in 2003 (05.13.03) and released in 2004 as a firewire only interface i believe, there was a press release in late 2005 (11.28.05)  MOTU Delivers High-Speed USB 2.0 Version of 828mkII   that announced they were creating a usb 2.0 only version of the 828 mkII (the 828mkII-USB) this model from November 2005 only has usb2.0 and no firewire connection...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – Monday, November 28, 2005. Building on the success of the award-winning 828mkII FireWire
audio interface, MOTU has added a new model equipped with high-speed USB 2.0 for connection to any USB 2.0
compatible Mac or PC. Both models are identical, except for their connection to the computer via either FireWire or
USB 2.0.

“USB 2.0 has proven to be a widely adopted and successful connectivity standard for both Mac and PC, and it’s
increased bandwidth over USB 1.1 is well suited for pro audio applications,” said Jim Cooper, Director of Marketing
for MOTU. “With the addition of a USB 2.0 model, the 828mkII line now delivers even broader plug-and-play
compatibility with latest-generation personal computers.”

The 828mkII-USB provides a high-speed “ultra-fast” (480 Mbit) USB 2.0 connection to any USB 2.0-equipped Mac or
PC. Users can freely choose between purchasing the 828mkII FireWire model or the USB 2.0 model, depending their
computer and other FireWire or USB devices they plan to connect to it.

Most recent computers (built within the last several years) support the high-speed USB 2.0 standard.
Both models (828mkII-FireWire and 828mkII-USB2) are now shipping and share the same US list price of $795.

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
