Re: [emax] Sound Designer / Mac Emulators

2007-01-09 by Mike Wolak

I have tried similar setups with no luck. The
application will run but you will have problems with
midi communication. The only way it will work is if
your emulator sends 100% accurate serial data out the
PC serial port and you have a Mac midi adapter
attached to the PC.
