problems getting EXS triggered thru USB hub.....

problems getting EXS triggered thru USB hub.....

2002-07-26 by Phunk1

6 months later, and I'm still having setup problems...<jeez>

here's what I'm running:

Fatar controller > MOTU Fastlane > TiBook 400mhz 256 9.2 > Logic 4.9.2

When my Fastlane is connected straight to my USB port - everything works
simply and beautifully -  I just select EXS24 from the Audio Instrument /
Mixer window, select an instrument, and start tappping away at the Fatar.

Now I have an MBox hooked up to a USB port (it can't go thru a hub), but I
need both my Logic Dongle and my Fastlane hooked up, so I have them running
thru a hub. When I make this change, I get a led light on the Fastlane
singallign MIDI transmission, but no sound (or note change, or meter, or
anything) from the EXS24.

When I check the system profiler, it sees the Fastlane thru the hub, and I
am seeing the led light - but again - no audio.

Anybody have any ideas?

Again, I've *almost* got my system really running......(does anybody have a
midi/audio system that runs perfectly? Or is it kinda the unreachable goal?)

thanks,
gary

Is your Hub powered?
If not it probably needs to be.

1/ You using OMS? AFAIK the only USB MIDI interfaces that work with
Logic without OMS are Emagic's interfaces.

2/ I didn't know the MBox worked with Logic at all - I thought it only
worked with Protools...? (Please tell me it DOES work!)

3/ Logic 4.9.2??

To clear some things up : 

I'm using Logic 4.8.2 (of course)

The Fastlane works fine when plugged directly into the G4.

MBox DOES work with Logic - you need to spend $40 on a third party driver from a company called Propagamma (www.usb-audio) 

Their tech support is excellent - they made sure it worked with my system. If you're running 5.0, the setup is really easy. If anybody wants to try it, I have detailed intructions on how to make it work that someone typed out for me. Let me know.

As far as my Fastlane problem - MOTU tech support said that it was most likely the fact that my USB hub is not powered. 

I'll let you guys know how it works out.
