Hey Peter! I'll look for that file...if it's not there is there an "easy" way to get it there? Nothing I have has a 3.5" floppy on it anymore, so getting the file on there would be pretty challenging to say the least...

You can FTP it. May I suggest you get a USB floppy drive. They're only about $12. You're gonna need it. What platform are you running?

Without wishing to be brusque, I suggest you download the manual. All instructions are in there. There's also an item in the database that covers FTP. Questions that aren't immediately available in the manuals or database are what this area is for. :)

My apologies...

I looked through the V3 manual I got with the mixer, but I couldn't find anything about FTP in there?

I was also over at the database looking and did see where FTP was mentioned, but couldn't find any actual instructions for it?

Would you happen to have a link handy to the FTP information? Forgot to mention I'm on a windows 7 machine if that matters for anything...thanks!

Well, after hours of searching, I abandoned the FTP search...My brother found a USB to floppy drive, so I have the file on disk now...HOWEVER, now I've got another issue...My CPU does NOT have midi in/out's on it...the manual says it's supposed to, but mine has a BNC connector like fore a word clock instead??? Is this normal?

Can I hook up the apogee clock output to the CPU bnc to generate the midi time code needed to run the fader program? I don't want to damage anything...so I'll wait for a response before I do anything...thanks!

Did you click "Apply" in the setup window?

You need a breakout cable for MIDI. Check the database.

Take a photo of the back of the CPU and post it. There are circles in the air here :(
