SampleCell II with Digi 001
MIDI Ports and Audio I/O Cannot Be Used Simultaneously when
Running SampleCell Loop Editor or Third-Party Software with Digi
001:
Digi 001's MIDI ports use DirectIO technology to allow MIDI
communication to occur between software applications and Digi 001's
MIDI ports. At this time, DirectIO is also used for Digi 001's sound output
drivers (Digidesign Control Panel). The Digidesign Control Panel allows
third-party applications (and Digidesign's SampleCell Loop Editor) to use
the Digi 001 I/O box for audio monitoring purposes. With the initial release
of Digi 001, both the Digi 001 MIDI ports and Digidesign Control Panel the
Digi 001 sound output drivers can not use DirectIO simultaneously. This
limitation is limited to third-party applications and the SampleCell Loop
Editor- Pro Tools LE is unaffected by this problem.
To avoid this problem, customers wishing to use Digi 001's audio outputs
with a DirectIO compatible third party application should use an external
MIDI interface instead of Digi 001's MIDI in/out connection. (This has the
added benefit of satisfying the need for multiple MIDI in/out ports.) In
order to use analog or digital I/O of Digi 001 with a third-party application,
the user must disable the MIDI ports on Digi 001.
Please note that for full compatibility with Digi 001, the third-party
sequencer applications will need to be updated. We are actively working
with our digital audio sequencer developer partners to complete these
updates. Please contact the respective third party sequencer manufacturer
for release information.
Multiple SampleCell II Cards With 2001 G4:
The current version of the SampleCell Editor, version 2.1.1, recognizes no
more than one SampleCell II or SampleCell II Plus card in Apple 2001 AGP
G4 models (466MHz, 533MHz, Dual 533MHz, 667MHz, and 733MHz).
