Virtual Instruments for older iBook?

Hi -- a newbie Q. I have Digital Performer 5 (on the Mac), on an iBook
G4, with 768 mgs RAM and 1.07 GHz processor. I am looking for an
"all-in-one" sample library (with really good acoustic / orchestral
instruments) in the $125 price range. The newer packages (VI.ONE,
PlugSoundPro) require a faster processor. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Optimizing virtual instruments for studio and live with intel mac

hi all
does anyone use a mac as a sound module to have virtual instruments(GB jam packs, stylus rmx, bfd, dfh, ezdrummer etc.) triggered by an external midi controller in a studio and or live setting? i play a zendrum and hpd-15 through a motu midi express usb midi interface into a dmpro. i really like the sounds of the software instruments but the only hardware module that plays them i know of(muse receptor) requires a team of techs to set it up and use plus its close to 3 grand and only has demo instruments and nerfed versions of programs. could my mac pull off what im describing? im still waiting on purchasing an audio interface that might best suit my need for minimal trigger to audio output latency. any recommendations welcome
thank you

thanx

Charger for older iBook

I need to buy a new charger for my friend's older iBook (over 5 years old I am pretty sure) but I don't know much about it. The cord frayed at the end that plugs into the computer so I think it requires a full replacement. I don't know what model iBook it is, just that it's old and doesn't use MagSafe. Will any non-MagSafe charger do or does it need a specific one? Thanks.

You need to determine which iBook it is.
Is it one of the older, colored ones or is it all white?
If it's one of the all white ones, the _adapter for the iBook G4_ will work for a white G3 iBook (the ones with two USB ports), too.
No iBook can use the newer MagSafe adapter, though.

Create a LabVIEW Based Virtual Instrument for NI Multisim - Missing Function?

Hi there,
I am trying to build an output instrument for NI Multisim according to the instructions here:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5635#toc3
The problem is that i cannot find the function i see labeled as "Gen Signal" anywhere in my Labview version (8.5) so i can
use it in the "Update Initial Output Data"case box!
Excuse my ignorance, but i am new to LabView and unfortunately in electronic schematics as well.I am doing this project for my school assignment.
Is it available in another Labview version, or can you tell me where i can spot it so i can build my VI?
Thanks in advance. I hope i posted on the right section...

234123410…
Here is a very simple output example that you can start with.   Likely you are still having issues with either the build settings or something with one of the subVIs that is not properly being included for some reason.   I do notice that sometimes when a waveform VI from the Signal Processing Pallette that originally is coming from the NI_MABase.lvlib, it can sometimes have issues with the inclusion / build settings. This seems to be an issue with the LabVIEW project build and not necessarily with the Multisim interface.
So lets take a simple example as shown here...
The two core source files are "SimpleOutputInstrument.lvproj" and "SimpleOutputInstrument.llb".    The .llb contains the "Simple Output Instrument.vit" - which is the main VI, "Simple Output Instrument_multisimInformation.vi" which is the Multisim information VI to set the pins and Instrument name and "Simple Sine Waveform.vi" which is a simpler form of a sine wave generator (not using the NI_MABase.lvlib).
Using the .lvproj file, build the project as an .llb.   The result is "sines.llb" which needs to be placed in the lvinstruments folder C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite 10.1\lvinstruments...
See if you can run this VI and then try to build the .llb with my same source VIs and let me know the results.

MacBook with Lion will not recognize external hard drive (AMP) that was my backup for older IBook, please help

I had a IBook G4 and an external hard drive as its back up.
IBook running something like Snow Lepord, anyway
I have a Intel Macbook now with Lion, Ive been told here there is a possible confliction between the AMP external harddrive and lion.
I will say a few times I have for limited time been able to access the drive on the newer MacBook, but then Lion (I think) drops it.
Any ideas out there?

Disk Utility sees the drive, finder/desktop doesnt.
Click on the Desktop->Finder menu->Preferences->General->Show on Desktop->HDs and ext HDs.
Mac OS Extended (journaled) what's that mean and is the format the issue here?

No, that's not the issue.

Yahoo messenger for older iBook?

Can someone help me here???
I want a version of Yahoo Messenger that will run on this iBook. I don't have Classic installed, so I'm not sure if Y Messenger 2.5.3 will work.
Beta 1 will not work, as it needs 10.3.9, which I don't have.
I tried emailing Yahoo, but they were of no real help.
Thanks!

You can download the 10.3.9 update:

How can I do a simple MIDI track (no virtual instrument)?

I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to do a simple MIDI recording. So far as I can tell, I can only record MIDI data if I select a virtual instrument for the MIDI track. When I used to use Cubase, I could just record the straight MIDI signal without having to select an "output" for it, and then load up whatever instrument I wanted to use later. Can I do that with Logic 9? I record some MIDI stuff live, and I'd like to not have to bog down my machine with running live virtual instruments.
Mainly what I'm doing is recording the MIDI data of a set of VDrums, so that when I get to mixing later on, I can trash the crappy v-drum sounds and use DFH Superior for my drums.
Much thanks for any advice ahead of time!

Cool. I'll check this out and see if it's that easy for me. i feel like I tried that, but it wouldn't show any signal until I inserted a virtual instrument. I'll try again and make sure I do it right.
What we're doing while playing live is using the Roland Vdrum sounds live (and recording the vdrum sounds themselves, as well), and also recording the MIDI data to a MIDI track. Later during mixing, I'll mute all the vdrum audio and pipe the MIDI track through DFH Sup. I have a v-drum preset I can then apply so that the MIDI data will trigger the software correctly. In the studio, I use DFH and listen to it during recording.

Looking for a labview virtual instrument program we can modify

Hi, I’m looking for a canned labview virtual instrument program we can modify for the OMB DAQ 55 from Omega to measure three temps and control three DO. I have the driver at:ftp://ftp.omega.com/public/DASGroup/products/OMB-DAQ5455&56/ The driver is labviewpdaq5xsetup.exe. I have the OMB DAQ 55 from http://www.omega.com/pptst/OMB-Daq55.html with a USB interface. I am trying to set it up to control a 24V electric valve. I’d like it to measure temperatures (5 separate temps), allow a set point to be programmed for three of them and turn on and off a DO based on the temperature. PID is not required yet. Maybe in the future… We have labview 7.1 and 8.0 but my colleague prefers 7.1 Do you have an labview VI programs that you can share that will do this with the DAQ 55? If you have something that will be close, we can modify it. But starting from scratch will likely mean we can not get this done in time for a project test. Simple set point and control is all I’m looking for… I’m new (my colleague knows it better than me, but has less time) to labview and do not have the resources to learn it from scratch to figure this out. Is there something you have I could modify? Can you help. Or are there canned programs you have that will do this? Labview is the preferred language. Thanks. Attached is what Omega shared with us, it might help…it’s a screen capture from a similar program, but far from the mark.

Hi vestel,
These discussion forums are more geared for questions - not necessarily having everyone else code for you.
You have a few options if you want code.
1) Look at the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW. This will give you a starting point from which to ask questions.
2) Look at the Instrument Driver Network that exits on National Instrument's Web site. Here are all the Omega instrument drivers listed.
3) Look at the list of Alliance members who you can pay to develop your code for you. Look here.
I hope this helps,

Concerning midi data in GarageBand for iOS: can we copy midi data from one virtual instrument to another?

Concerning midi data in GarageBand for iOS: can we copy midi data from one virtual instrument to another?
For instance: I play my "lucky take" on the virtual piano, and now I am curious how it would sound on let's say a organ. Normally I would select the midi content out of the piano track and copy it into the organ track. I cannot figure out how to do this in GarageBand for iOS. Is there anyone out there with a solution?
Thanks!

It is limited, how you can move regions between tracks. Basically, you can move between tracks with the same touch instrument. See the help: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chsec12c15d
Move a region
Drag the region left or right to move it forward or back in time. Align the left edge of the region with the bar or beat on the ruler where you want it to start playing.
Drag the region up or down to move it to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also drag regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Guitar Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be dragged to another Smart Drums track.
If you move a region so that it overlaps another region, the overlapped part of the “covered” region is deleted.
Paste a region
You can paste a region you have copied, or paste an audio file from an app that supports copying audio to the clipboard. GarageBand supports 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth uncompressed audio files.
You can paste copied regions to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also paste regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Guitar Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be pasted to another Smart Drums track. Audio files copied from another app can be pasted to Audio Recorder or Guitar Amp tracks.
Move the playhead to the point where you want the region to start.
Tap the header of the track where you want to paste the region to select the track.
Tap the track where you want to paste the region, then tap Paste.You can also tap an empty area of Tracks view, then tap Paste. In this case the region is pasted into the currently selected track.

Will install discs for an iBook (mid 2005) work on an older model (late 2004) ?

I have a nephew that got an old 1.2 GHz 30 GB iBook from a neighbor. It had OS X 10.4 on it, but was not running. I used some old discs from an eMac to fix the OS, but couldn't get any additional software to install. I want to get the newest install discs for this iBook (OSX 10.4.2 and iLife '06). I don't know if the discs will allow the install of the application software bundle to the older iBook. Does anyone know if it will work?

The eMac disk does not have all the necessary software for an iBook. If you reinstall the Mac OSX 10.4.x from a retail disk then your problem should be solved.

Peter,
does Pages v4 (09) work on a G4 chip? I think I've updated this old Mac iBook as far as it will go. In other words will I need to buy a newer laptop to get the Pages 09 to work and ouput to an eBook? Thanks. Richard

I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?

I should have posted this for you a while ago. My apologies for not doing it sooner. This was passed on to me by another user R C-R
He deserves the credit for this workaround. This is his post from an area in the forum where you have to be level 6 or higher in which to participate.
I am getting the same (global) error using iTunes 10.3.1 on a 2008 MacBook running 10.6.8.
A really, really awkward workaround that works for me (for now) is if you have the URL of the Internet radio server you can go to Advanced > Open Stream... (in iTunes 10.x) or type command + U, enter it there & click OK. The station should play fine in 10.x.
You can get the URL from any version of iTunes that still supports the "radio tuning service" (which I gather is an Apple server thing Apple is no longer supporting for 10.x). Play the station normally from the newer version & type command + I to open the info window. At the bottom of the "Summary" tab you will see the URL. (Annoyingly, you can't copy the text so you will have to write it down.)
Once you have that, you can play the station in 10.x & add it to a playlist for future use.
To check this out, maybe try http://198.27.80.37/stream/mbarsott.pls -- it is a European Jazz station that works fine for me with iTunes 10.3.1.
This workaround does work, but is a bit cumbersome. I'm still holding out hope that it is just a glitch.
