SoundDiver for OsX...
 

What's up freaks?

I have been planning to use a Power Mac G4 w/ OsX 10.4.3 as a component in my recording arsenal for about a year now.

I just got the box reloaded with OsX 10.4.3 and have an M-Audio 2496 I can use as a soundcard.

One of the main things I wanted to use this machine for is with SoundDiver for loading, manipulating storing, etc. synth patches of my Virus KC and Motif ES Rack.

I looked for a recent copy of SoundDiver to buy and stumbled across this thread:

http://community.sonikmatter.com/for...php/t7536.html

It basically states that there is no full retail version for purchase with OsX but that the demo is available for free use until that time comes.

Has anyone used this demo version?

Is there a newer retail version out now?

It looks like the post is from 2-5-2006 so I am thinking its possible something changed in the past few months but I am not up on Macs yet.

Cheers to all, thanks for any comments on this little project of mine.

And big ups to Jasedee for pointing out to me that the free version of SoundDiver Virus from Access won't work with OsX 10.4.3. 8)

Am downloading now...thanks for the link Alex!!!!

Anytime, Jase.

Please let me know how you like it as I am so busy right now I won't be able to get to it for about a month.

:(

I used to use it with my Virus KC. Works very well on 10.3. Never had it on 10.4.

You da' man, Merlot.

Thanks for the info.

Stop..Hammer Time!

Hey Alex,

Just tried installing Sound Diver OSX public BETA, running 10.3.9, but apparently you need to have a Emagic XSKey or something...

Looks like Im sticking to OSX10.3.9 and Sound Diver Virus

Hey Jase,

Waht is an EmagicXS key?

Have you tried emailing them for one or do they mean a key from a previous version?

Cheers!

-Alex

XSkey is the dongle for Logic. Forgot about that apect. I use logic so it was a no brainer.

Yeah, sorry Alex. Shoulda just said "Dongle".....

DAMN IT JASE! What the hell is wrong with you?

Just kidding.

Damn Dongles!!!

This is a disappointment. :x

Oh well.

Yet, you always want me to send pictures of my dongle to you!

No, Sebastian.

I ask you for pictures of your "dingles."

You know, the little balls of poop that stick to monkey's furry butts.

You're Swedish-Monkey roots are confounding your ability to translate filthy, American slang. :lol:

Bwhaahahaha. Aye, but I really do blame it on the beer.

Alex: Just got a reply from Access support confirming that SoundDiver Virus will work on OSX Tiger.

Sorry for giving you a bum steer earlier!

:)

OSX 10.4 here I come...

I found a picture on Google that shows people new to dongles how to connect them. Hope this helps Jase. :D

Who ever said "Ausis are just rude pricks, full of sarcasm, and never willing to help"?

Hey Jase:

Yay! Thanks for the heads up Bro! I gues my lazy American ass could have contacted Access myself couldn't I?

I almost bought a copy of MIDI-Quest Uno, I still might aas it appears SoundDiver is going the way of the Dodo. Also, SoundDiver will never support my Motif ES Rack, but for now, I can use it on OsX with my Virus KC for FREE!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Hey HC:
REF: "Who ever said "Ausis are just rude pricks, full of sarcasm, and never willing to help"?

The Aborigines maybe? :shock: <Sorry mate, I had to!>

No worries dude!

Well, If you were using Cubase you could use the Studio Connections software that is available from Yamaha. It is quite cool!

HC: Shut up you rude cunt!

;)

Hhehehe! :D

Love it!

Heh! I'm glad we're still still friends.
Now take Jasedee's advice.

:wink:

Shit, I thought he was refering to someone else! "HC" can mean many things afterall. :D

I'm still using Cubase 5.1 on a G3 with OS9.2.2, my Virus is A, and my SoundDiver is so oldskool. :D
