Re: Midiquest, Unisyn, ???

2005-12-29 by mike

Thanks for the info.  I didn't realize that Unisyn doesn't work with patterns.  The arps and 
patch editing looked cool though.

I have the same ROMs you have- even though Unisyn doesn't recognize the PX ROM, can 
you do any editing with it?

I may have to partition the hard drive on my powerbook and install OS 9 so I can boot up 
in it.  Another thing I am going to investigate is some software I stumbled across.  I don't 
know if it would help get eloader working with OSX, but here's a clip of the description.

"What is MidiBridge9X? 
MidiBridge9X is a combination OMS driver and OS X application that allows 
applications running in Classic to communicate with CoreMidi MIDI devices. 
MidiBridge9X was developed specifically to allow you to continue to use MIDI 
applications that only run under Classic. Because there are numerous 
applications out there that will never be ported to MacOS X, brings an entire 
world of MacOS 9/OMS legacy applications back to life."
