Re: [emax] RS422 and Alchemy

2011-09-01 by LIFELIKE

Ah if emax 2, its the right OS version then! (2.14). Have you checked that midi is turned on in the emax?
For emax 1 i think the os is version 4.0 or something like that. If it still doesnt work its ur cable that has a problem. The guy from emulatorarchive can do one for u if u ask kindly im sure of it.
