Subject: Re: Midi Malfunctioning...Help please!

From: jondl@...

Have you checked out Cubase.net? Go to http://www.cubase.net/ and you
will find forums for all Steinberg software and related items, i.e.,
Sound Cards, VST plug-ins, etc.

Perhaps it a conflict between drivers. Have you been to the Echo
Audio
site lately? I noticed they have MANY new public beta drivers for
both
Win and Mac (I use an Echo Gina card.) VST 5 is still pretty new -
could be a conflict with the Sound Blaster card or the MOTU.

If it were my problem - I'd simplify my kit for troubleshooting.
Strip
down to just Cubase, a MIDI Interface and ONE synth - make certain
THAT
works and THEN reintroduce your sound card and other synths. Once
that
is working - reintroduce your other pieces of software.

Good luck.
