Re: More on the OS X Editor

2004-05-29 by Michael A. Firman

Hi,

At first I was in communication with Mark at Soundtower, who claimed it was
a bug introduced when he was merging the Poly code with the Evolver code.
He said it would be fixed soon. 

I waited a little over a week and contacted him again. At this point he said that
I was the only one that it didn't work for so it must be something wrong that I'm
doing (he gave me several suggestions, such as that I had my editor selected for
Poly instead of Evolver (which I don't) and that I had the global MIDI xfer function
set incorrectly (I have it set to all for both in and out)). 

I think you need to continue to send him complaints. I'll wait a bit more and then
send him another e-mail saying that some members on this list have the same
problem.
