Alchemy Help needed

Alchemy Help needed

2005-03-16 by Daniel J. Litwin

Hello,

got my Emax II working and got a copy of Alchemy 3 from the files section. 
I had someone make up a 422 cable for me to interface the mac to the synth.

problem now is when I try to get info from the synth, I get a message in 
Alchemy saying

"Can't get keyboard map:  EmaxII"

bear in mind, I have only installed Alchemy from the SIT.  I didn't install 
OMS or any midi drivers because I am just going to use it with the 422 port 
on the mac.  I have turned appletalk off, selected Emax II in Alchemy and 
made sure my cable was plugged into the printer port on the mac.

I know the 422 on the synth is working because I made a loopback tester and 
it said the test passed fine when run from the Emax diagnostics menu.

Can anyone shed any light on what I may be doing wrong?

Dan

I had the same problem with an old mac laptop and alchemy (from the files section)

I loaded new OMS drivers, all sorts of stuff, I got the same error as you, except this was for an Emax I.

If you figure it out, let me know, it really bummed me out, I was mainly going to use it to load wavs to the emax, but alas, no communication.
