Sammich problem

[claiborne]

I am having trouble getting my Sammich to connect with MidiBox SID V2 editor using Vista 64 SP2. I used the regular midiyoke and miditrix setup as outlined in the user manual.

I had NO problems using Midibox V2 Editor to edit/upload patches with XP SP 3 but with Vista I get a "MBSID V2 is not responding check all connections error" I know my computer is communcating with the Sammich because I can play it using a USB controller,and MIOS studio works both UP/DOWN.

I'm using a MIDISPORT 2x2 if it matters.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to try. Thanks!

MIOS Studio and the SID editor are both Java applications, so if one works, the other should too. Have you tried playing with all the combinations of MIDI connections in the SID editor? I have found that the connections are not always labelled all that well so I have had to do quite a bit of guesswork to get the SID editor working for me. It does work, however. I am using a MidiSport 1x1, but I am on XP 32-bit. I can't imagine it being a driver issue since MIOS Studio works, unless the SID editor uses a different Java MIDI library or something.

I don't think your problem relates to the Sammich if everything else works (you can play patches, use MIOS Studio, etc.) though I could be wrong. Instead, I would read to see if other people are having similar problems since I seem to remember seeing some talk of Vista (though, again, I could be wrong - all this advice is before my morning coffee :)

Firstly, since you say you have a midisport 2x2, is it the anniversary edition? M-audio haven't released drivers for any 64 bit version of windows for the old one.

Thanks for the replies! I guess the post title should have been "Sammich problems with VISTA 64"

I think I have tried all the combinations of connections in the editor, I thought the same thing since MIOS Studio was working the Editor should too, but no luck.

I even tried switching the physical MIDI ports on the 2X2. I had no problems setting it up on 2 different XP 32-bit machines so it HAS to be something to do with VISTA.

Yes it is the 2X2 anniversary edition and all drivers and firmware are up to date.

I will check the thread mentioned above and see if it helps. If not I might have to install XP on my laptop...if anyone else thinks of anything I could try let me know.

Thanks again guys, if I do figure it out I'll post the solution here.
