Re: [xl7] Re: E-loader on Mac

2002-10-24 by Mark Pipher

It is pretty well documented that in OMS v 2.3.8 (the final version
released) Opcode added a bunch of code for their own USB MIDI Interfaces,
which in turn caused issues with competitors¹ USB interfaces. I have been
told many times to only use OMS 2.3.7 with a non-Opcode USB MIDI interface.
I believe Midiman/M-Audio¹s install instructions say to use 2.3.7 as well
because of issues with 2.3.8. If removing that one extension bypasses the
issues, then great.

I often had trouble with my USB interface, so I switched to a Studio4. No
problems ­ it¹s tight, and highly configurable! Who needs the latest and
greatest anyway... and free was a good price.
