I see that some people are having problems running finale in under classic on OSX, though not always problems attributable to the OS or finale. I've used it a few times (OSX 10.1.2, OS 9.1 on the same partition as classic), and it worked okay except for MIDI. I could edit some of my old scores, save changes, etc.
There doesn't seem to be enough of a backward-compatibility mode in OSX for the serial ports (or USB-interfaced serial ports) to allow the 51K bps setting that an external MIDI interface for Mac requires. Seems rather dumb.... So what else works? Is broken? Has anyone gotten MIDI playback to run (either to an external interface or through Quicktime)? I was rather surprised that neither the built-in finale driver nor FreeMidi would work to route MIDI to OSX Quicktime, where no serial or other interface to a MIDI current-loop is needed! (GRUMP ON: I'm also amazed that Apple has paid so little attention to getting the sound and music makers of their customer base onto the new system. Lots of cute stuff--like the superb SoundJam becoming iTunes--for kids who want to burn CDs from their MP3s or record collections, but such slow support for real significant apps that the websites of MOTU, Steinberg, Digidesign, etc. don't even mention OSX yet. Bias Peak seems to be the only well-known app that's ready. Why doesn't Apple send support--or $$--to Cooper at MOTU to get Digital Performer out, before they lose the audio customer base to PCs and Microsoft? :GRUMP OFF) _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
