Every time I have had to unplug my computer equipment and move it and set it up again I have had a terrible time getting my synthesizer to talk to my Mac and Finale. I think I have even had to ask this list before. I have a Mac G4, I am booting into Classic 9.2.1, OMS 2.3.8, I have downloaded and installed the USB floppy enabler and the latest driver from Midiman. I can do the OMS setup without errors, but the Test Studio does not show that it is setup correctly and in Finale it says it doesn't see it or it just doesn't work.
My synthesizer is Roland XV-88. I have Midi In on the interface plugged to Midi Out on the synth and Out to In. There is a little switch on the back of the synth that says midi or pc or mac. I have tried both Mac and midi although I am pretty sure that midi is the correct choice. I have shutdown everything and restarted many times and run the setup many times with the same result.
Can someone solve this one? I tried calling Midiman but they are closed tonight.
Thanks.

There is some sort of badly written driver or something for Midiman devices for Mac, it appears. I hear nothing but problems from my Mac friends, who have all discarded their Midiman interfaces, and I have a 4x4 Midiman that decides once a day or so to stop listening to my MIDI keyboard. Also, I can never sleep my computer without losing all MIDI communications, and switching between Finale and Cubase causes MIDI to stop working whenever I switch back to Finale. Sometimes I can get it back up again by going into OMS and making the Output device None, then choosing my master keyboard again. Sometimes I just have to reboot. I have learned to live with it, but I'm not buying Midiman again, I can tell you.
