[A6] SoundDiver and the a6

[Chris Pickett]

I've heard in a few places that the SoundDiver team (person?) is sort of 
cut off from Emagic and Logic.  The 3.05 release notes seem to confirm this:

"Autolink with Logic should now work provided the MIDI channels in Logic
and Special Parameters in SD match. However, I can't test this as I
don't have Logic. I have also no idea how this match I'm talking about
has to be achieved from within Logic, so please don't ask me."

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about Alesis, Cyril.  Try writing to the author 
of SoundDiver -- the problem might simply be that SoundDiver is cut off 
from Emagic as a whole right now.  I'm sure he appreciates your work, 
even if Emagic doesn't appear to at the moment:

"-- July 2 2002

    - Mixes and all the different parameters are displaying OK
    - You can display the 2 internal factory banks
    - You can display the 8 banks of the external card"

I'll have a look on the Yahoo groups page.

Cheers,
Chris
