Solved (HOWEVER) - MIOS Studio IS compatible with E-mu 1616 audio interface

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

Hi guys.

This is how my audio interface’s midi ports register in the Midi Device router of MIOS Studio:

The device has 2 midi I/Os, 2 x IN, 2 x OUT.

As you can see i cannot select an IN or OUT port individually, just the group they belong too.

Because of this (i believe), the core has even failed recieving LCD messages.

I did get the LCD test to work with the  MPU-401  port of my older computer,

(which i now must get back from a friend!), but i  didnt manage to upload the Sid V2 firmware.

I have double checked my cabling, and i have tried using a seperate group for midi IN and midi OUT, as well as using the same group for each.

Shall i add the Emu 1616 to the blacklist?

Regards,

Adrian.

Silly me! I had the release Ports button clicked, as you can tell from the broken lines in the pic!  :stuck_out_tongue:

D’OH!

Okay, so i tried uploading the setup_8580 hex file to core using the same port for IN and OUT - Port 1.

It failed, it never received the upload request.

So then i switched the cable going from CORE OUT <-> Interface IN, to Port 2,

so that it had its own dedicated port, and low and behold…

It Worked!  :smiley:

I was shocked since the MPU-401 failed, to do anything.

I wonder if people have more success using 2 seperate ports like i have.  ???

I am absolutely delighted to get this far,

thanks to everyone involved!

Now on to make that sid module!
