Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Skipping
Midi
I tried again on this last night - had the PC in bits.
The
Gina was on a totally different IRQ to everything else but still the midi
skipped :(
So
I installed 98 on another HDD and it seems to work fine. So it look like a dual
boot system for me. Proberly for the better any way !
So
here is my next question - can I have a soft menu that loads up to choose the
Hdd that I boot from ? My XP hdd is Primary master and the 98 on is slave.

It's most likely a conflict I have to agree. The Gina
uses a lot of resources and sharing that with the USB is bound to give you problems.
You might want to try moving your gina around in yer rig until you get the
right IRQ combo. XP will move things around on it's own depending on what slot
the card is sitting it. Just don't stick it in the slot next to your AGP card.
If that doesn't work, you can always disable ACPI and use the standard HAL,
that seams to clear up problems with midi for most folks. This will allow you
to choose what IRQ you want the Gina on. Unfortunately I've had similar problems
that seemed to magically go away with the purchase of a new motherboard/chipset.
Some just handle things better then others =/ ... Hope a bit of this
helps.

Lee,
you're probably right...
I
bet its the IRQ conflict....
Even
if they are supposed to be able to share resources - as with everything
else on PCs regarding music, do you really think Bill Gates sat down and
tried to playback a super tight beat sequence with his gold plated soundcard
and platinum midi interface before claiming XP/2000 will share
resources.... I doubt it...
I
have 2 setups on my PC, one for normal stuff and the internet and the
other with all the unused non studio devices disabled and I think (but it
could be a placebo effect), that the midi timing is much better on the
studio setup,
Can
you change the addresses?

Subject: [dnb-prod] Skipping Midi
While
we're kinda of on the subject I've having a bastard problem with midi
skipping.
For
example I've got a 8 bar loop (10 midi channels) in cubase 5.6 -
randomly it will miss notes and sometime not play certain notes.
I've
got a USB midiman 2x2 and a decent p4. All the latest drivers are
installed etc. The midi loop is setup as suggested in the midiman manual.
Although
I have set it up in every conceivable manner for test purposes.
I've
done everything - disabled the network card incase it's polling was
effecting midi timing - switched my dual monitor config off.
Even
tried Cubase Sx (still does it). Clean install of win XP.
The
only thing I can see that maybe causing it now is that the echo gina
soundcard is on the same IRQ (19) as the usb port that
is
controlling the midi man.
Im
an old skool PC person and in my day device on IRQ 19 where a big no no.
But people tell me XP / 2000 can handle shared resources.
It's
becoming a real pain this - It's fingers crossed everytime I try to
record a mix down.
I've
now resorted to using my laptop to run the sequence to record !!!
Any
Comments / ideas ?
