Title: stealth or usb wil work for mee too ?
Post by: gongo on June 07, 2014, 10:10:56 AM

Hi . i think  here the place where i can find correct answer .

we using tascam tm d8000 console .

automation software needs os9 . and mac serial port.
so .  we got  g4 for it .
but its not so easy to find g4 stealth .
much easer to find usb serial port adapter .

so .
the  question is .
wil work  usb serial adapter for  us ?
thanx.

you can use any mac os 9 compatible USB midi device or compatible usb midi keyboard
instantly coming to mind:

-Motu Fastlane usb midi interface
-Edirol UM-x series midi usb midi cables
-Edirol Um-550/880 interfaces
-AMT8/Unitor8 Interfaces by Emagic

the stealth port is only for connecting to old Legacy 1991-1998 serial midi devices
there is some dispute over the idea that these older devices have better timing

its not realy midi interface .

its mixing console .

and automation software running only under mac os9x. via  mini din8.

so . the question stil the same .

wil work  tascam tm d8000 via usb adapter ?
