Radium49 driver is listed as compatible with OSX10.4.3. Do you have v3.2.1? I have no experience with M-Audio, but I think I heard it is more reliable to use MIDI I/O rather than USB. >Being computer illiterate I don't know what host CPU is!

I suspect your M-Audio is being flaky, or driver isn't updated. >I did get it to work yesterday by fiddling with the midi/select >controls on the Radium, god knows which ones , I kept pressing the >reset and midi channel keys.

A cheap MIDI interface, like MOTU FirstLane would be a good start. -- - 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
