MIDI & W-7 64 Pro Live 8.2 (Motu's MicroExpress w/MTC lock)

[rhythm_kitchen]

Hi,

Deleted much of this post.

Since this is my first post. I feel I owe an explanation: Now I am waiting for the clouds to clear to see the eclipse. How awesome my box version arrived this auspicious day. I'm on a pc also, the dual boot thing: well Avid disabled sync'n dual or three delta 66s with their new W-7 64 bit driver, so this is the reason I want to dual boot. Occasionally I do record live drummers and four mic pres not enough as we all know.

Please ignore the heading of this post. NI Maschine is the answer it will send MTC to my Mac (can use the MicroExpress on the Mac side with hardware synths... or Reason freeMidi in OMS compatibility mode, so my question is already answered. My keyboard controller via the MIDI in on Maschine. I lock to a mac running reason iac buss, or hardware keyboards, etc, on svp (vision) or old vrs of stable pro tools. Been a midiot for 25 years...mma rep etc. but got writer's block switching to Pro Tools from vision: linear timeline composing vs sequencer style. (Reaktor, Kontack 4.1, Absynth support just tunings or pythagorean tunings without sys ex (Tobias' suite) or Little Miss Kitchen Oven)) as ALL my older vintage gear supports these tunings in their patches few virtual synths do these days. Those controlled via MIDI and OMS from the Mac. 33 minutes to lift off...

Supposedly Maschine can load these Akai controller patches also.


Thanks anyway,

Windows users: Akai is blaming Windows for non functioning dual USB MIDI devices (XP Pro) you can't rename these...don't know if they also mean Vista (the midi functionality inherited by W-7) as I am waiting for an expert to help me via phone to instal W-7m64 Pro. Is it true dual partitions are unstable? This was true in the early days of OS-X and 8.6-9.1 but with XP Pro 32 and W-7 64 on dual partitions (Boot partition magic can assign a boot partition)???? but after that I have no idea how to do it beside the bios boot method on separate drives.

Option key on mac an elegant solution though. I have Jag and 9.2.2 on the same drive same partition and it is fine now. So this was an early problem with OS-X. I never use virtual classic mode.

Once upon a time I had two sequencers running 6/8 and 4/4 on the same powerbook locked together playing Quicktime Musical instruments. Unfortunately it wasn't stable. (Vision and DP - midi only). Wouldn't it be ideal to build rhythm sets like this on a laptop lying on a couch (for us users with pinched nerves, carpal tunnel, but ears still functioning) into polyrhythms?

...alas storm clouds moving in. But got everything set for the big switch-a-roo before the Winter Solstice. Now if I can refrain from the ten pound hammer fine tune method... I'll be back for more.
