Congratulations! & Perf tool question

[Russell Wilson]

I have had my VSL for about two weeks now, and I am very pleased with the quality of the samples. It's a whole new world to have this kind of sounds to work with. Congratulations to the crew! This is the first time I have ever been totally happy with a set of samples!

I just installed the Perf Tool and it worked great for two days. Today, however, it's giving me attitude and telling me the PORT is not available.

I've checked and rechecked all my midi settings. Weirdly enough, the PORT is working fine, as far as getting MIDI into Giga. (My sequencer is working OK.) The performance tool just won't seem to recognize it, so I can't play legato etc.

I am using a dedicated HP 900mhz with 1 gig of ram, with DIG PERFORMER on a Mac G4. My soundcard is an Audiophile 2486. I am experiencing some popping when keys are pressed and again when released, but it comes and goes. I am trying to work that out with Nemesys.

russ, this message should only appear, if the midiport is already accessed by another application. although you've checked your midi-settings, make sure the port used by midi-in in the performancetool ist set to none in gigastudio.
also there is another bad behaviour of windows, that might cause this issue: it remembers the last midi-port that has been set by any application when shutting down - this has not to be neccessarily the one you're using for the performance-tool. so when starting the next time, the midi-in of the performance-tool will point to that last accessed port.

Thanks; you are right about the midi port settings being changed in Giga. However, it was a Giga problem apparently. Nemesis suggested a re-install and now settings are saved instead of disappearing when I close the midi setting window. [:D] Russ
