![]() ![]() But based on many hours of trying to find ways to get ancient emagic drivers to work, I suggest limiting the amount of time trying to get it to happen.I am fairly new to MIDI, and I would like a recommendation on what routing and clock settings would make the most sense for my purposes. If you can get a newer computer to see the emagic interfaces as fully functional usb devices and the Unitor Control software to work, great. So, from a usb keyboard I can choose which ever unit/channel I want (live performance modality, but multi-track recording/playback can be done, too). For example, unit 1 responds to channels 1-7, unit 2 responds to channel 8, unit 3 responds to channels 9-15, unit 4 responds to channel 16. The mt4 is currently sending the midi out as follows:Īt some point I can also send the midi out to two other modules.Īlthough all 16 channels would be sent to all 4 units, I can channelize the midi data by configuring the receive channels of modules. Considering how old it is, I doubt it.Īddendum: For more on Unitor Control, Unitor 8, and mt4, see Īddendum 2: Just to give you an idea of how a "dumb" mt4 can be used, I have this configuration:Į-Mu 2x2 -5-pin DIN Out 1-> emagic mt4 In 1 I suppose I could use midi-ox on an XP machine to see if the software uses sysex to change settings. I don't recall ever seeing a sysex guide. I am not sure if sysex data can be sent via midi to change the configuration of the MT4. ![]() Unit 1 (out 1) responding to midi channels 1-4, Unit 2 (out 2) responding to channels 5-9, etc. Another is to have 4 modules, each set up to respond to a range. One option is to have 4 sound modules, each on a different midi channel. It basically distributes the midi as a dumb thru box. PS: I presently have mine receiving the usb midi out from an E-Mu Xmidi2x2 interface. So if it does merge data, try not to clog it! But it is worth a try. I do recall that the Casio DH-100's constant stream of breath data (D0h) caused the MT-4 to have stuck notes. I will test with two inputs not sure if they get merged and sent to all 4 outs. As a standalone unit, you cannot program it or even select presets like you can with MOTU midi interfaces (among others).Īnd if I connect a device to each of the MIDI inputs, will it act as a MIDI merger wtryith 4 outputs?Īt present I am using just one of the inputs. If that's the case, I should at least be able to give it a test It can be connected to a computer or to a USB power supply for that result, right?Īnd if I connect a device to each of the MIDI inputs, will it act as a MIDI merger with 4 outputs? So, if I want to use the MT4s as a MIDI Thru Box, all I need is to connect the USB to power, right? I have heard of people getting Windows software working with the MT4's big brother. I use it as a 1 In -> 4 Out box in standalone mode. At the moment, I have one MT4 as a dumb interface powered by usb on a Windows 10 PC. Someone here posted instructions for how to use the Unitor program/drivers successfully under post Win 98 SE Windows, but I never had it work. ![]() Sometimes I have had them working under XPSP3, but not predictably. Re: Emagic MIDI Patchbays with Mac OS X 10.9? When I got them, I was thinking of just using them with an older computer, if I couldn't get them to work.īut since the package was so poorly done, I would like to check them properly to be sure they didn't develop problems other than the obvious outer damage.ĭoes anyone here has an idea on how to make it work that could give me some help? I also had a look at this site - but it seems that version 0.9.8 for Mac OS X 10.9 is actually not available, as when I check the version I downloaded, it mentions Mac OS X 10.6 in the instructions and after it is installed, it says 0.9.7 in the "About" section.Īnd of course, I can't make it work either. However, it doesn't seem to detect any of the interfaces when they are connected via USB. I tried to install the Unitor Family Driver 2.5, but in my MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.9, I get a message that says the update is not necessary. ![]() I think the units should be properly working, and the damage is just outer damage, but at the moment, I am unable to confirm. Unfortunately, the previous owner did the crappiest job possible packing them, which resulted in a PC RS 232 port getting bent, as there was no bubble wrap or anything between units. Yesterday I received a set of Emagic MIDI patch bays, composed of two Unitor 8 MkIIs and two MT4s.
