Acid 5 and Midisport 2X4 (M-Audio) -ACID Product Family

Subject:Acid 5 and Midisport 2X4 (M-Audio) Posted by: Krib_Deth Date:1/24/2005 8:56:01 PM For some reason, Acid just doesn't like these Midisport units, by M-Audio. Acid 5 crashes, frequently, as it has issues with the various ports. I've set everything up so that my computer is routed to my Midisport, and then out to my Korg N1R, my Korg Wavestation, and then to my Roland EM-55. I sure hope someone has any ideas how to keep this application from crashing. It's so bad that a reboot is in order, because Acid 5 won't even cancel out from the Task Manager under the Applications or Processes settings. Please help.

I only have a MIDI keyboard controller hooked up to it but I’ve had no problems with crashing in ACID 5. Make sure you have the latest drivers from M-Audio. ~jr

I can aquire tones from multiple sources in Fruity, but Acid crashes like crazy when three synths are hooked up. Well, at least when you're aquiring your tones, on multiple channels, from three different synths.

Subject:RE: Acid 5 and Midisport 2X4 (M-Audio) Reply by: MJhig Date:1/29/2005 1:59:24 PM This sounds like the symptom of a MIDI loop. Do you have both in and out MIDI cables connected to devices and Thru/Soft Thru enabled in a device and apps. creating a MIDI loop? Loop as in endless data loop (MIDI feedback), not music loop. MJ
Subject:RE: Acid 5 and Midisport 2X4 (M-Audio) Reply by: Krib_Deth Date:1/31/2005 10:03:52 AM Yeah, I thought of that already. That's not the problem. M-Audio mentioned IRQ conflicts. So, I'm waiting to hear back. However, I never had these problems with Acid Pro 4. And, Fruity still works great with it. So, I'm assuming that this is a flaw inside Acid 5 Pro.
