pingosimon Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) I have two MB6582 and one sammichSID, all with these problems. I used to be able to upload hex files to each of these synths successfully. The only thing that's changed is I got a new computer (Mac OS 10.6.4, before was 10.4.9). My MIDI interface is an M-Audio Firewire 410. EDIT: I just hooked up my old computer, and was able to upload a hex to the Sammich. In MIOS Studio, sometimes I get the message: No response from MIOS8 or MIOS32 core! Check MIDI IN/OUT connections and Device ID! And sometimes I get Operating System: MIOS8 Board: MBHP_CORE or similar Core Family: PIC18F Application is up & running! It seems to be random which of those I get. I just keep pressing "query" and it changes. Every time I try to upload a hex file I get either (from most frequent to least frequent) Upload aborted due to error #3: Checksum mismatch or Upload aborted due to error #11: MIDI IN Overrun Error or Upload aborted due to error #1: Less bytes than expected have been received Edited November 11, 2010 by pingosimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem!

First try to alter the setup/settings of your midi adaptor. Second try to alter the setting of your software. (buffersize etc.) Best regards clem!

pingosimon Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 As far as I can tell there aren't any setting for my interface to change, nor are there any in MIOS studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingosimon Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Any other ideas? Are there any known issues with Mac OS 10.6.4 or the M-Audio Firewire 410 interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem! Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Any other ideas? Are there any known issues with Mac OS 10.6.4 or the M-Audio Firewire 410 interface? Have you tried manual mode and played with the delay time? Have you tried to up-/downdate the drivers for the interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingosimon Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) What is manual mode? I'm using MIOS Studio 2.1, and I don't see any options for delay time. The control panel for the Firewire 410 has absolutely no options to configure the MIDI ports. I tried an older driver. Same result, so I updated back to the newest one. Finale and Pro Tools can play the synths just fine, which leads me to believe there's nothing wrong with the interface's MIDI out. I can also plug my MIDI keyboard into the interface, and input notes into Finale and Pro Tools that way, so the interface's MIDI in must be ok, right?

Wilba Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have zero experience with Mac, but I know that it sometimes Macs don't play nice with MIDIbox and sending/receiving SysEx... but I thought that was when using a Java interface (i.e. what MIOS Studio 1 used). Let's say it's not properly sending/receiving SysEx, not flushing buffers when it should, truncating/splitting up SysEx... etc. then you will get this intermittent working behaviour. Maybe you can upgrade/downgrade the M-Audio Firewire 410 driver. It might be a newer driver with the new OS. Newer doesn't always mean better.

pingosimon Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 hmm, I guess I'll try more drivers. So the fact that the MIDI interface works perfectly in Pro Tools and Finale doesn't mean it should work fine for sending SysEx? The MIOSstudio beta app won't work either, and neither will the MBSIDV2 editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem! Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) I still have another idea for the strange behavior. If you try to upload the bins, does your LCD flicker? If yes - try another PSU for the midibox. Best regards Edited November 16, 2010 by clem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingosimon Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Nope! The LCD is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingosimon Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I tried a few drivers. My OS REALLY doesn't like the older versions. Programs crash when I use them. M-Audio says there are no older drivers available, and I can't find the exact driver that I use with my old computer. I'm currently sending emails back and forth with them. Last thing they told me was to use the program MIDI Monitor to test MIDI in and out. I still don't see why the driver would be the problem. It works fine in every other way, including sending and receiving MIDI messages to Pro Tools and Finale. Another symptom(?): After MIOS Studio fails to do something (when it does't see the synth when after press "query" or when a hex upload fails), my synth reboots. I need to find someone with a firewire port on their computer, or their own MIDI interface. Or at least I WILL need to next time my firmware needs an update.

pingosimon Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 ok here we go. From M-audio: I am very sorry but there is a known issue with the driver when transferring sysex files. We are looking into it as of this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taximan Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) Hiya, I have been using one of these cheapos to upload op systems.........http://cgi.ebay.co.u...#ht_4648wt_1139 At just over 3gbp it has to be worth a try cheers Paul Afterthought,I am using vista Edited November 26, 2010 by taximan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
