My theory for my particular case still goes back to GVOX/Passport Encore music printing/sequencing software. Like I said, it's already a bit unstable, and it's set up to address the MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV, so I'm guessing the software isn't smart enough to realize the thing isn't "there" if a USB cable is plugged in, and that leads to the foul up. But, that's just a WAG on my part. ;^) Pep On Saturday, September 18, 2004, at 11:56AM, Donald Schwab <deschwab at descom-usa.com> wrote: >Interesting.
