Timo,
I wasn't familiar with the ESI RomI/O so I looked it up on the ESI web site. It resembles
the MIDIMAN Uno. I assume you are on WinXP - their latest drivers are from Feb '04
so you probably have that already.
I have used the MIDIMAN Uno along with AN1xEdit with some success under Mac OS
9 and OS X but I found it unreliable when performing bulk dumps to AN1xEdit of the
entire AN1x memory. However, if I limited the transmit or receive (initiated from
AN1xEdit) to 1-8 voices at a time it worked okay. 8 Voices at once was the upper limit
before the AN1x would choke. I would suggest you try this before/after you check it
out at your studio proper.
I'm currently using an Emagic MT4 USB MIDI Interface under OS X with terrific results
- I also found it to be the most reliable USB MIDI Interface I've tried under OS 9 -
worked perfectly with AN1xEdit. Previously I'd tried the MIDIMAN MIDISport 2x2,
Opcode MIDIport 2x2 and MIDIMAN Uno 1x1.
You might want to check the list archives as this topic comes up ∗very∗ often.
