So, the first step to sort this out is to determine whether the problem is internal or external.įor example: If you load OMS, is your Translator II recognized as an interface and appear in the OMS setup screen?Ī possibility: You may know ( or not? ) there are two kinds of Mini-DIN serial cables. It just fakes the creation of serial ports where there were none…SO:Īre you saying that neither the editor or AMM "see" modem or printer ports as being present, or just no MIDI interface present?Ĭan you successfully use it for anything else?īecause: No matter what MIDI management software you use, it is looking for an interface of some kind on a serial port. The Keyspan is usually NOT recognized as an interface or device. The biggest pain-in-the-ass of troubleshooting stuff on a forum is that simple questions / answers that would only take a second in real time become long and drawn out. Maybe someone has an older version of OMS that included this driver file? It sounds like OMS (maybe when it was "Opcode Music System" instead of "Open Music System") used to have a connector to the Apple MIDI Manager - apparently it took the form of a driver that replaced the "Apple MIDI Driver" that came within the Apple MIDI Manager package. In terms of MIDI interfaces, I have the Opcode MIDI Translator II (serial) and also MIDISport 2x2 and Edirol UM-1 devices (USB).
The iBook has no modem or printer port, and the Keyspan adapter connected to an an Opcode MIDI Translator II isn't recognized by either the software or Apple MIDI Manager (even when I tell it to emulate the modem/printer ports). It can connect to MIDI on the Modem port, or Apple MIDI Manager. The software in question is also ancient, but it's very specialized (the only advanced editing option for a discontinued synth). The difference between the iBook and the tower is a lack of serial ports. What I'm trying to use now is a G3 iBook. Thanks GaryN, I successfully ran this Apple MIDI Manager configuration on a PowerPC tower, so I don't think I'll need a 68K machine to do this.
