Hi Blindspot, I read a review of this unit in Future Music and it said that it worked fine in Full mode but when in 16-level mode (MIDI velocity sensitive) the triggering became extremely poor and unreliable. Has this been your experience of the MPD16 ? Phil That's a negative interpretation of a tr...

Wow Alex, you rock. So, I have no idea if my Tibook/800 is QE capable or not. How do I tell? Blindspot, I got my 828 for $599., which is only $100. more than the EMI 2/6. But your unit is more portable. I find the 828 to be "crackle-free" in Jaguar. Are you getting any clicks or glitches ...

You have a firewire port on the Powerbook so what's wrong with the 828? That is a product I can recome...

I got the MPD-16 last week from the Guitar Center in El Cerrito which is 4 blocks from my house. They only had one in stock. The Guitar Center dude was holding it for a studio buddy. But his buddy never came in to pick it up. I realized later that they sold me an open unit for $299, but I didn't car...

Conclusion: PBG4/800, 512MB RAM, EMI 2|6, Live 1.5 works well for me. Went home and tested it out last night. I was able to get the 6 outs and two ins! Thanks Kooky. It was a little flaky at first. But eventually it seemed that if I left the Sound Preference AND the Audio/Midi Utility both open but ...

Hey Scientist, I know I'm a little late to the party. It took me a while to find your post about the Audio/Midi utility. To be honest I didn't even know that it existed until I read the post you made a month ago (which I just found). Is it new with 10.2? I'm gonna give it another go tonight when I g...
