May be "OMS Preferred Device"

You nailed it :-)

A big thank you, I forgot about OMS Preferred Device (actually I never used it before, because I never needed it), limiting my attempts only within OMS Setup and the OASYS Editor.

Leaving "OMS" as MIDI System in the OASYS Editor, and choosing "Port 1" in the OMS Preferred Device panel, forced the OASYS to use Port 1 of the Emagic MT4 USB MIDI interface (http://www.giannotta.eu/photolink/OMSPreferred.jpg).

P.S. Direct OMS freezed Mac OS 9! :-D

Robgian I have done this in the past - what you will need is keyboard that has usb drivers for Macosx and also has midi ports - I used a Korg Kontrol49 which also had midi-in, midi-out and midi-thru(I used this). Not sure if it has drivers for the current OSX Mavericks though?

The drivers of the Korg Kontrol49 in OSX opened up the midi ports as well - this allowed many different types of midi routing. Check to see if your USB keyboard has midi ports as well and whether they are opened up in your app you use.

Anyway once set up in OSX in your app then you can use a midi interface from your G4 and use the midi ports of your midi interface to connect to the OSX computer via midi ports of your keyboard.

So what happens is this -
Midi from keyboard USB into OSX then gets sent through midi-thru/midi-out port of your USB keyboard to G4 midi interface into G4 Oasys then audio comes back into your audio interface in OSX.
You will just have to do some trial and error with the midi interfaces you use and see whether they do show up.

Is that easy to understand? Let me know.

is anyone using the macs sound out and the oasys pci card at the same time? i remember logic kept crashing, whole system froze on me if i tried to use the audio out. i can't remember, but i don't think any system audio would work, i was also trying to use turbo synth and some other programs if i remember right.

Wasn't there an Oasys sound manager that you could choose in the system sound control panel to use,
instead of the apple sound manager.

Those were solid cards for me - the oasys Pci. The drivers were also very well written.
You may want to try installing the version 2 drivers again and see if the same thing occurs
after a desktop rebuild.

Audio out of what - the Oasys or the system?
When using Oasys it's a good idea to make Oasys the ASIO card and keep apple sound manager for the system audio.

I had similar problems with the RME digipad. If you chose Digi for System sound then opened an app ike Cubase sometimes
this conflict caused many problems. As soon as you became aware of what ahppened and released the card from System
audio it became available for the app you were using - sometimes after a restart and rebuild - since the system would become flaky.

Also;
Audio output may have been assigned to the Oasys in the Oasys System Sound manager or Apple Sound manager panel so
there must have been conflicts.

Robegian.... Did you get that remote working?

I have this set up using Studio Vision to bus the G4's in port to the Oasys hosted therein. Logic 4 also is good.

Also if  needing midi over LAN in OSX, get IPMIDI which is free.

does anyone know if its still possible to obtain SynthKit for the Oasys? I havent been able to find it anywhere. I found the site of the Korg guy who has a bunch of patches on his site, but he very clearly states he doesnt want to be contacted about Oasys anymore. Wondering if anybody might be able to help me out there.

[acelera]

According to some, Korg will still send it to you.

How can I get SynthKit?

SynthKit is the MacOS program used to create all of the synthesizer and effects plug-ins for OASYS PCI. It is a fairly complex program, developed for internal use by Korg's DSP engineers. SynthKit is not publicly released, and is not part of the OASYS PCI product, but it is available to OASYS PCI users and plug-in developers as beta software.

To apply for the SynthKit beta-test, please send mail to [email protected]

Please note that SynthKit is available for MacOS only; no Windows version is planned.

This is an awesome card in my MDD Dual 1.25. In my continous effort to obtain this kit, I just last month received this reply from Korg:


Thanks for contacting Korg USA Product Support.

We no longer have this kit available but I was able to locate a few links online to the different plugins.

Just to add to this thread, took delivery of an OASYS a few weeks ago, and its now up and running in my MDD.

As above - the sound of this card is something else. It rips through a mix - I'm not sure what the Korg magic is there but its performant.

well since Korg themselves no longer have it, maybe it might be a good addition to the macintosh garden at this point?
i'd still love to get a copy of it somehow.

Looks like most of these links are dead. Does anyone have any of these plugins they can post for download?

I upped the install CDs and SynthKit to MacRepo last week:

https://www.macintoshrepository.org/20663-korg-oasys-pci

I have a lot of the third-party patches also but it will take me a few more days to find them, I've got a lot going on right now.
