A colleague of mine is trying to get MIDI working under classic. While he hasn't succeeded yet, we are assuming he will by following the procedures outlined at the Finale website.
Still? Ach, I feel for the guy.
However, the kicker is that the procedure requires the MIDI setup for Classic to be configured under OS9. The whole reason we are doing this is that he wants to replace all his computers with new iMacs. These do not allow booting in OS9, so it seems there is no way to follow the steps on the Finale page for these computers.
Does anyone know of any alternatives? One that occurs to me is to set up, e.g., OMS on a computer that does boot OS9 and then copy the prefs files over to the target OSX-only computer (given identical MIDI setups of course). Has anyone tried this?
You should not have to boot in OS 9 to configure OMS. I didn't, and it worked for me. In fact, it may even be *better* to configure OMS from Classic. Copying the prefs may work, I don't know. I suppose it's worth a shot, at least.
What MIDI interface is he using?
