Well, Finale sends MIDI to Vi (virtual instrument), which format can be AU, VST, MAS, RTAS, etc, etc. You seems to be mixing two different protocols. MIDI is MIDI. Finale HP uses CC1 MIDI message when GPO is selected, while it is not a standard (why can't it be the standard CC11 or even CC7?! I feel monopoly). And what David was saying about XP optical drive issues is in fact true. Mac supports peripherals at the BIOS level, while PC doesn't. Mac also used to have a problem with 3rd party after-market peripherals before the WorldROM machines (Tuppoer G3) but not anymore :-) Back to the topic, I am pretty pissed with Coda sleeping with NI. After installing FinMac2006, it is clear to me they intentionally embedded the code to reject anything but NI shell. a) You won't be able to use any AU Vi other than NI, and b) Selecting NI/GPO will disable link to CoreMIDI. This is very intentional to my eye. They had to embed this code to do this. See, Fin2006 is still connecting to CoreMIDI since you still need MIDI input from CoreMIDI device, but output to CoreMIDI is disabled to prohibit you to use anything but NI/GPO. If they took, as they claim, the AU API, which should be pretty straight forward after Panther, then we would have access to _any_ CoreMIDI object, including _any_ AU instance because that's how OSX is designed for. I think it is safe to say this is a big conspiracy :-) -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
