This is a timely reply, Paul. I was just going to ask a question. I'm an Ableton Live user. My "studio" setup is XP PC based because it was available, and I needed something that would take the 5V PCI interface card for an M-Audio Delta 1010 audio/midi interface. This all works fine and because I ONLY use XP with the one program, it doesn't get in the way. The midi timing is always perfect. But I need an additinal mobile setup. I had hoped to use my trusty 12" G4 867MHz Aluminum PowerBook, at least for just driving my midi sound modules (I'm old-school), which shouldn't take much CPU power. I bought a Turtle beach USB midi interface (One in, one out) which works but the timing goes off sporadically. I was wondering if this is because it's only a usb 1.1 interface on the PowerBook or if it was a CPU power issue, or just a bad interface. The interface just uses the built-in Apple drivers (Tiger). The shame is that the PB has a FW400 interface which would be MUCH faster so if it's just the usb speed then a FireWire midi interface would be great. But I can't find one that isn't an Audio/midi interface which is more than I need. Is anybody else doing this sort of thing? Anybody got any recommendations for a FireWire Audio/midi interface (but mainly for the midi)? I'd love to press the old PB G4 but into regular use.
