Could it be some kind of permission-blocking "feature?" I made the mistake of setting up multiple accounts on my daughter's iMac G3, and that kind of thing keeps cropping up.

Hey Mark,
from what I understood, all the transformations are indeed happening into Plogue Bidule. I'm going to ask my friend to come by this forum and describe her setup. Hopefully she'll agree to take some time on the side to do so (as you can guess, she is pretty busy!). Ed Shearmur just ordered one of these Lemur thing, so that he can control the VI player with it, it sounds very cool!
Jerome
Jerome,
The Lemur device looks very cool & customizable. Thank you for asking your friend to post about her DP & Bidule setup. I appreciate it! I understand you are busy and I'd be happy to take you guys out to lunch. Let me know if you are interested.
[:D]

MarkSorry to butt in here, but that Lemur thing looks great. I'm not usually one for gear lust, but I'm really tempted by this. If you have any info on it in real terms use, then please share [H]

Hey guys...
Sorry I've been away for a few weeks, but I am in France right now (just got married!) and I'll be back in LA in about 10 days. I'll go check out the Lemur asap and let you know my impressions - it seems to be a great piece of gear, albeit expensive!
I will also try to get you some details on how to get this DP thing going.
Cheers,
Jerome

Auguri, auguri !!!
Congratiolations to your marriage.
Besides:
I have Logic Express running on a 2.0 Dual G5 as a slave.
It works ok, no pops like in Bidule (Due to the fact that I can buffer it with 1024)
Only Limitation: I can only adress one In-Port (=16 Channels/ 8 East West/+ 8 VI) in Logic Express....to bad...
Cheers

Jerome, many congratulations!
Let's hope for your sake she can cook!
Oliver,
You wrote of having LE as a slave.
Do you have it wired into the master via ethernet for audio and midi or by some other fashion?
Regards,
Alex.

Alex,
LE is triggered by Midi over Lan and Audio goes out via ADAT Lightpipe with a RME CArd (Slave) into the Master Motu Interface (Word Clocked)

Ok, I checked the Lemur last week at Ed Shearmur's studio, and it is absolutely *amazing*. Providing you know (or know someone who knows) how to program it properly.
My friend Kayla Schmah, Ed's amazing tech assistant, programmed the whole thing. She made 6 different templates on the Lemur, on which you can choose over 32 articulations per orchestra section. You just select a big button which tells you which articulation will be played.
In the background, it sends a midi controller message to Digital Performer. Like a keyswitch, except that it's a controller (so you don't see it on the score page).
Let's say you're on a Violin track for example. Just pop-up the Strings section page on the Lemur, choose any articulation (say, legato) with your left hand, and start playing. Tap on "staccato", and the sound will change automatically. You don't have to stop playing or anything else. Just select the articulation.
If you forgot to record the midi message at the start of your recording, you can - as for regular keyswitches - go back to the start of your sequence, press "record", and tap once on the right articulation. Here you go : you just sent a midi controller message to DP, and next time you play the sequence, you'll know for sure it uses the right articulation.
It's so great to see it in action. Not only is the Lemur a real beauty of its own, but it's allow fully customizable and programmable. *AND*, Kayla made it work with Digital Performer (and her system can work with any other sequencer). Waow.
Very cool stuff. Probably the best way I saw to use - easily! - the full power of the VI!

Hey guys -- just wanted to say that if you were interested in the whole "Mac Minis as VSL Farms" concept, I've written three articles on the subject.
They are available on my (new) website, here : http://www.createfilmscores.net/?page_id=7">http://www.createfilmscores.net/?page_id=7
Please let me know your thoughts, comments and suggestions!

Thx Jerome, I have already been at ur site for the read. Great Lego StarWars movie. [[;)]]
All that remains for me now is to find a working KVM switch for the Minis, and think I have digged up every single brand and unit out there available. Problem is I dont know if they will work without flaws or if they will drop the VGA connection as reported. Any of you managed to find a purely DVI based one?

I can tell you about the IOGear 4-port Miniview SE that I used for a couple of years: it works really well with Mac and Windows. The only problem is that it switched horizontal and vertical ball-scrolling on the Mighty Mouse. I used it with a PC mouse that had a scroll wheel rather than a scroll ball.
