how to reset midi device & OMS?
« on: March 05, 2014, 06:07:30 AM »

So after leaving my g4 on for about a week.. the midi interface somehow stops responding
maybe this has something to do with sleep mode?

ive been just rebooting when this happens is there any way of resetting the entire midi setup
after quitting Ableton live + all other apps of course.. to save me the trouble of rebooting?
im quite proud this system can work for up to a week without a reboot
if i could just fix this i could keep my uptime going;)

the midi interface/keyboard im using atm for this mac is a Mk-225C evolution usb keyboard
simply plugged into the back of the g4..

(i have a motu MTP and/or an opcode Studio128x planned for use in the future for this machine via its stealth port)

i always thought rebooting was the oms/usb norm. is there a difference between midi interfaces in this respect?

Unplugging the midi interface and waiting for about a minute before replugging  the midi interface should solve the problem.

Effectively this would be a safe rebooting of the midi interface .
