Yes, thhere is an OMS v2.3.8 which has been available for quite
awhile now - it's available from the Opcode 'site. And yes again,
Opcode did 'go bust' but not without a little push from Gibson to
put them over the edge.

As Phil mentioned in his reply - the AMT8 comes with an OMS
driver so you will be good to go running the AMT8 and OMS
v2.3.8. And it's my understanding the Nord Mod and Micro Mod
only ∗need∗ OMS for the stand alone editing application. Do you
∗really∗ need to run the Nord Editor simultaneously with Logic or
is this just a matter of convienance, i.e., something you can live
without? SImply configure a Nord object for MIDI Note/CC events
in Logic and leave the editing sessions out of the equation.
I've configured Logic Audio with the 'Use OMS in addition to the
built-in MIDI driver' settings. I made a write up of the process for
a couple other users who were trying the same approach at the
same time I was - I'll be happy to pass it along to you.

Then it sounds as though it is NOT a MIDI Loop - I would blame
the MIDIsport 2x2 at this point. On a side note, FWIW there is a
constant trickle of new member subscriptions on this list so I
∗try∗ (not always successful) to direct trouble shooting questions
to the lowest common denominator.This approach is not meant
to undermine or second guess anybodys knowledge or ability
but simply to keep anybody joining in on the thread on the same
page :-)

I'm not certain what you mean,,,I haven't kept current on what G∗
processors OS X will run on or not...I'm barely current on the
latest Core Audio gossip...check in on the Opcode users list
from time to time and you'll find Doug Wyattt will post ;-) I figure
the MusikMesse next week(?) will bring all kinds of news.

I'm using a beige desktop G3/466 (ZIF upgraded) rev A 512 MB
RAM with upgraded HD and a TurboMax ATA/66 card w/ a
dedicated audio HD, USB PCI card, standard SCSI, and an Echo
Gina 20-bit audio card - not going to bother with a FW upgrade
on this machine.

If your system is stable on 8.6 with LAP 4.7 and you're satisfied
with the functionality I wouldn't recommend upgrading for the
sake of upgrading. It's not likely to fix the stuck MIDI note problem
and you'll have gone through the typical upgrade nitpicky hassles
that inevitably occur.
I'm on 9.2.2 with LAG 4.8.1 and everything is hunky dory. The only
glitch with the LAG update was cleared by rebuilding my LAG
Preferences and resaving soe songs. BATTERY hiccuped when
I went to 9.2.2 from 9.2.1 but the problems (of which there were a
few) were all specific to BATTERY - not 9.2.2.

Not suprised - it shouldn't make a difference.

I haven't asked but I don't believe it would make any difference. I
had the same MIDIport 2x2 nonsense you've seen with both v1.2
and v1.4.

Cheaper to get a second MIDI Interface. I have a spare Opcode
Translator Pro 2x6 (serial) MIDI Interface I've been planning to let
go of. Email me if you're interested.
