Nomad on MacBookPro not working

[aq]

Hi there

I am trying to get Nomad on my MacBookPro to work (without success so far). I copy the Nomad log below. It seems that there is a problem with Midi communication..

I have Mandolane installed which does work ok (Midi in/out according to the test app that is included).

Any idea how to get this to work?

Thanks.
B.

Hello aq,

Did you follow the advice on this page :

http://nmedit.sourceforge.net/help.html#micro-modular

Maybe this can do the trick...

Julien

[aq]

yes, I did, but it doesn't make a difference...

cheers, b.

Hi aq,

which midi device are using ? Has the midi dialog multiple entries with the same name ?

Hi All

I'm happy to report that I can get Nomad to work with MacBook Pro and Micro Modular...

Mandolane didn't work for me... but this does...

Hello pixelmechanic,

That is great news. Can you post your configuration: Java version, macos version, midi interface. This info may prove useful in the future.

I suppose that you tried the latest release not the CVS version ?

Cheers,

Julien

Hi Julien

Here's the info you requested...

Mac OS: 10.4.11

Java version: 1.4.2_16

Midi Interface: M-Audio Midisport 4x4

Nomad Version:0.2.1 (Current)

I've also got a small question... would I need to compile the cvs version or can that be downloaded as a jar also?

Cheers

Jules

[julien]

Thank you for the info.

Unfortunately, there is no available distribution for the CVS version. So you have to compile it yourself. If you want to do so contact me I'll forward the instructions, they not yet on the developer website. Another point on the todo list...

The next release is very close anyway.

[pixelmechanic]

OK, I'll wait for the release

Cheers
