Hi everybody. Anyone tried this with OS9?
-
I guess only mk 1 and maybe mk2, but mk3... Is MODERN/YOUNG.
Search on MOTU forums

I guess is a good ADD-ON in standalone mode, but you will need another native OS9 interface to handshake ADAT, SPDIF or even Analog Inputs.
I would use it to talk to my DIGI 001 via ADAT.
Or to talk to my M-Box via SPDIF
Or better, use 2 ADAT cables and go beyond 48kHz!
-
Well yes. its no different from mk2. which has drivers indeed. I thought it might work. otherwise yes I do have 001
-
I was thinking on using as a mixer or as a analog to ADAT, but it can be used also as DSP with the onboard Reverb+ Classic Compressor in real time...
001+ 896mk3 is a good setup talking each other via ADAT
Undoubtedly use the 896 as master clock.
Also the SPDIF out from the 001 and the second ADAT from the 896+ its SPDIF can act as a cheap extra "Wordclock" or sync clock.
Lots of ways to use that setup, but I would put a Mac Pro 2.1 on the 896 with Protools 10 HD on Snow Leopard or El Capitan. Find a workflow to do Sample Rate Conversion from 44.1/48 kHz to 88.2 or 96 kHz. Only use 001 to track drums.
Also MIDI cables to use 896 as a modern Kontakt server if you prefer keep working with Protools 5 LE, but nowadays I find LE too small for my needs. I can begin a project on OS9, but never finish on it.
A 002 could be a better partner to the 896 as it can work on 96k

Try the mk2 drivers via firewire and tell us what happens.
Perhaps it works with a few less specs.

Confirmed, No luck
-
You still can do the ADAT thing in standalone once you have set it up in a modern OS
-
Sure. But it was not a question.
