Digi MIDI I/O unit sometimes goes offline

[delgadil]

Hello,

I am using PTLE 7.1 on WinXP with Digi002. Also have a Digi MIDI I/O unit.

I am finding that the MIDI I/O unit sometimes goes offline (e.g. "online" LED on front of unit turns off) when I am working on my sessions. Then weird things start to happen -- bad timing, MIDI not playing, etc. Forces me to close and restart Pro Tools. Resetting the MIDI I/O via the reset button doesn't always work.

Last night, my PC just stopped recognizing the MIDI I/O altogether -- I had to reinstall the MIDI I/O drivers to get it up and running again.

Questions:
- Has anyone else seen this kind of problem?
- Does anyone have a solution?
- I see Digi has posted version 1.0cs1 of the MIDI I/O drivers, and that this is not officially supported. Anyone know what's new in this version (no description is provided) or have any experience with this new driver version?

Thanks,
Kevin

hello, i have experienced this behavior with my midi i/o as well. to me it seems to happen more when native instruments products are being used. i loose communication and i have to restart protools to get up and running again. this does not happen all the time but it happens every now and then,annoying.
i have spoke to digi about this and they have suggested using a unsupplied power supply.i tried it with a power supply and still expeirenced same behavior.so, power supply did not make a difference.
for now i just deal with the occasional loss of cummincation by restarting........annoying
