Re: [PD] OSX Intel: status of M-Audio / MOTU multichannel in/out, support?
Ok, Damian, in that case, here's the long, sad story: I bought a firewire 410 three years ago based on my happiness with a m-audio mobilepre usb, and my need for more ins and outs. First disappointment was, you can't hot plug it. It must be plugged in at boot time, or it might fry your firewire. I learned to live with that, and used it with my G4 iBook on osx 10.3 and 10.4 with Pd and jack and core audio in various combinations, and it usually worked fine, and was my main interface for a couple years. Then I needed to run a patch in Max/MSP runtime, and it could not find the 410. So I updated the driver. The driver for osx 10.4.11 is _still_ in beta. Hmm. Then the firmware wouldn't upload, so it wouldn't work in Pd or anything else. So I downgraded, no luck. I eventually did a clean install of 10.4 and progressively tried each os update with it's respective driver. No luck. Then my iBook wouldn't boot, then would boot sometimes and then crash. Good thing I had just made a back up! Replaced the HD (I'm way OT now!) Same behavior. Was the problem a flaky iBook all along? Well, I have another G4 iBook, and I tested with that, and my wife has a MacBook, no luck there either. Maybe my 410 is just broken. I know there have been some driver issues, and a long wait for a 10.5 driver. There is no Linux support! I'd like to test it on a windows machine to see if it works there. SO, to speak on-topic, it works fine with Pd, if it works at all and doesn't fry your iBook! ;) I would just avoid it. I bought a edirol fa-101, which just works with osx and doesn't use a driver. Hot pluggable too. Has more ins. It is made of metal. Fully supported on linux (according to the freebob folks, I haven't tried it there yet.) And it works on the Max/MSP patch that got me started down this road.

[PD] OSX Intel: status of M-Audio / MOTU multichannel in/out support?
hey, as per the subject line, can anyone let me know what the current status is of M-Audio or MOTU device support with multiple ins and/or multiple outs on Pd, OSX Intel? looking to buy one and i don't want to get one that doesn't work. thanks d -- damian stewart | +31 6 5902 5782 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

I think m-audio had driver issues with 10.5 for a long time. but since 1-2 weeks they seem to be solved (but I have not tested) http://www.m-audio.com/news/en_us-1267.html marius.

I would say, if m-audio works for other apps, then it also works for pd and pd does support multichannel, so should not be a problem.. marius. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
