You sent me offline this messages:
dennis dennis (02/06/2009 22.23.34): Dom, a question for when you are back on-line..Can I access the VST's from an external sequencer via MIDI? If so, how is this done?

dennis dennis (02/06/2009 22.54.28): sorry Dom was away from PC...thanks...But I actually want to play several VST's at once like from a midi file.I cannot access them from within the Qranger, so I am trying a different approach..What channels are used? Will these correspond to channels 1-16 on the MS? Can I just assign GM patch numbers from the external sequencer?

dennis dennis (02/06/2009 22.56.18): IE WHAT are the CC 0/32 and patch # to send form teh ext sequencer to select the VST (not the patch within the VST) OR are teh VST's already allocated by the MS to preset midi channels? Like VST host 1 = midi channel 1 VST host 6 = midi channel 6 etc etc ??

and much more old messages that we know..

Dennis, i told you a lot of time, Untill you can not understand well the Jack system and how to work the all ASIO host, make the all experiments that you like BUT at your risk!

If you continue change some configuration or connection or I don't know what, for sure you will also fill of bugs the Jack system too, same can happen on windows OS too.

The new kernel that you get, fixed the all serial dream chip issue too and the MS play perfect without any xruns too: http://www.lionstracs.com/demo/xrunsOS32.jpg

Till yesterday your MS was working and now will not booting the sounds...smell some strange, are you sure that is the MS OS the issue and not some your setups??

Fran told you the same, reinstall the OS 3.2+new kernel and the MS will start to work as before, simple.

this video demo shown tha the MS is working fine with a ton of connections: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FyARYMHX6o

This simple demo also shown that the MS is able to play the all night without crash, it mean stable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-6Mo2Gbk64

Booting the MS and use ONLY the MS OS and you can play hours without stop and restart system.
At home make the all experiments that you like and if you brocken the system, just CD>KEEP DATA...



1. The configuration is EXACTLY as you have it from the OS 3.2 PLUS the patch installed.

2. The MS form day one has had software issues that youi refuse to see, alwasy saying its someone else fault. This is NOT alwasy the case. You should perhaps give people the benefit of the doubt instead of accusing them of doing things.

3. You are always saying how connected you are wiht your Iphone and other communication devices, so why shouldn't someone expect some sort of response, even if its to say youar busy and will get back to it, within sya 24 hours.

4. As you well know and we have discussed at length you use a TCP protocol for most of the operations on the MS, it certainly is NOT usual MIDI..This is why we ask as we do not want to be accused of changing things without knowing about them. ITs why I ask you plenty of times about the MIDI/TCP mapping. God know there is NONE of this stuff available apart form in your head.

Its also what makes creating GOOD midi styles so difficult when you give us no access to NTT tables, or midi note wrap points. THey are but 2 issues withe the lack of midi specifications provided by Lionstracs.

There are no printed (or PDF) documents relating to Patch lists, and MIDI control data, any Remapping from TCP to mid, so you wonder why people have questions.
5. I repeat I have not changed ANYTHING to do with JACK...You told me very early to leave it alone and I have done so.

6. I have re-applied the patch and it is now working again, however it dose not fill me with confidence for the next job. I have been lucky to now that I have had no serious breaches when using it live, but the evidence points to it happening sometime.


Finally, that is the longest response I ahve got form you ever Dom, why does it take this sort of action to get assistance from you.

Vagro had the same, no replies to emails.
You see had you replied we would not be here. Are you sure YOU have not got it stuffed up and heve my address on a spam list??

You know Dom, I have been very patient and undertsanding of your situation and that you are pretty much running everything over there. But there comes a point when it does become overwhelming.

I have been one of the Media Stations biggest fans on SZ, I have many positive comments and overall its a good keyboard, but methinks you are listening too much to people giving you their interpretation of exactly what I am saying.

Anyway, at least you responded so thank you.
