Hi all,

Having recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 [64 Bit], I needed a new MIDI interface and so I purchased a Neusonik uMIDI/022 which is a USB 2.0 Midi interface cable with 2 I/O ports and which does not need drivers.

When using the uMIDI/022 for midi input and output in PTracks, I have been getting intermittent problems, whereby sometimes when playing a Midifile, on pressing start, the file starts to play but immediately freezes Ptracks. In order to restore PTracks I have to press ctrl/alt/del and then when reopening PTracks and setting up MIDI Devices after selecting uMIDI/022 and OK,I am advised by the {Windows, I think] uMIDI/022 window that 'there is not enough memory available for this task 'and I should' Quit one or more applications to increase available memory and try again'

Since I have 16 GB of memory, I find the reference to 'not enough memory' puzzling. Also, when I am using PTracks, I do not have any other applications on so am unable to turn them off!

Although, I do not have any other applications on when using PTracks, I do have other applications which use MIDI, namely Band in a Box, RealBand, Sonar X3 and Sonar Artist --- do these applications require memory even when not active? In order to allow PTracks to play and record Midi I have to severely restrict or turn off in some cases Midi inputs and outputs for the above applications and PTracks by using Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth for Midi out and uMIDI/022 {Midi IN 2} for Midi in [Sonar X3, Sonar Artist and Ptracks only].

I wonder if anyone else has experienced similar problems and can advise solutions. Maybe I need to allocate more memory from the 16 GB RAM to some 'cache' which the MIDI interface relies on --- does anyone know?

Alternatively, I would be interested to know what other midi interfaces for Widows 7 [64 Bit] and PTracks other Forum contributors are using?

My setup is an Intel Core i5 4670K Processor, 16 GB DDR3 1600MHz Memory, 2TB SATA Hard Drive and 120GB SSD Drive running Windows 7 64 Bit Home Edition. My Audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlett Solo. PowerTracks is version 2015.

Thank you.

Regards,

Peter J
