PCI overflows with Cubase VST 5.0+OMS (Mac)

vanhaze · Post by **vanhaze** » Wed Jul 25, 2001 6:08 am

I want to use Cubase VST 5.0 with my AMT 8 midi interface,but then I have to use OMS.
However, when OMS is activated (version 2.3.8 and/or 2.3.7) Pulsar II gives constantly PCI overflows.

Under Logic 4.7. without using OMS Pulsar II runs perfect.

Can a mac user help me out ?

G4 DP 533
OS 9.1 UK
PulsarII 2.04b

Thanx in advance,

I use logic 4.7 and OMS 2.3.7, however Logic can use all the devices with it's own "OMS" driver, try that .

Strange thing about the PCI flow.

I assume u have AGP-mac?

I thought the whole point of getting eMagic Logic and an eMagic AMT8 interface was to bypass OMS for tighter timing?

If it works perfectly without OMS why would you want OMS on?

Yea, I'm thinking about uninstalling OMS.
I use a Midiman 8x8 USB sportspro... shouldn't be a problem?

Disabling USB frees up the PCI bus for f.eg. reverb processing!

kim - nice thing is on the intel 815 motherboard, the onboard USB ports don't effect pci performance

but you're right, it should help on mac's and bx chipsets.
