Strange throbbing or
pulsing sound
If you hear a strange
pulse or a low, throbbing sound, make sure that "Editor
Responds to OMS/FreeMIDI Controllers" (MacOS) or "Editor
Responds to MIDI Controllers" (Windows) is turned off in the
OASYS PCI Preferences window.
In particular, we have
noticied this issue when using Digital Performer with
Mackie's HUI control surface and OASYS PCI. One user has
also reported a similar situation on a Windows system,
without a HUI.
More Information
regarding DP & HUI
DP and HUI use a note-on
message of C-1 as an "active sensing" mechanism, to confirm
that they are communicating properly. The note is sent
roughly twice a second. OASYS PCI recieves this note and
plays it (since, with "Respond to OMS/FreeMIDI Controllers"
enabled, it is receiving all FreeMIDI data). Since
the note is so low, you may hear a low, throbbing sound as
opposed to individual pulses.
