Nick, Yes, I did get it to work a while back. I have not had a chance to check if these instructions work with the newest DIGI drivers (6.4 I think) yet, but, I can check tonight. Hope this helps, Mitch

Using the Mbox with PD

I think that this is complete. If not let me know and I'll update it mmturner@mindspring.com

Three things to load/setup first:

1. Jack http://www.jackosx.com/ setup according to their very good documentation

2. PD compiled with Jack Direct link is: http://www.meskalina.it/elementicaotici/dev/downloads/pd-0.37-JACK.tgz

   Found on the page: http://www.meskalina.it/elementicaotici/dev/jack.html

   You will need to set this up a bit. - move the pd-0.37-0-Jack folder to where ever you plan to keep it - Inside the pd-0.37-0-Jack directory, run the "PD (launcher)" (it may open wish for a second and then wish may close) - Go to the Preferences for PD (Launcher) and set the command line mine is: /Applications/MusicApps/pd-0.37-0-Jack/bin/./pd -jack the "./" before pd -jack was needed on my system as this bin directory is not in my Path - Save the Command line, then close the PD (launcher)

3. Plug in your Mbox

   • run the DigiDesign CoreAudioSetup
   • click the supported Applications button
   • click Add New Application button
   • select JackPilot
   • Jack Pilot should be added to the list
   • click Done and then Done

Now the running procedure (do this in the order given):

1. plug in your Mbox
2. launch JackPilot
3. in JackPilot, set the Preferences (in the JackPilot Menu) set the Interface drop-down menu to Digidesign HW (MBox) click save
4. in JackPilot, click Start Jack
5. launch the PD (launcher) app wish should open and it should use the Mbox as your I/O

When you shut down, close Wish and PD Launcher before trying to shut down JackPilot

Hope this is helpful, please let me know if it works or if I should change some things in the instructions. Mitch

Hi, I just wondered if you ever got a satisfactory solution to this one? Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Pd list, Has anyone figured out how to use PD with the newest Mbox drivers? I recently downloaded the newest coreaudio driver from Digidesign (ver. 6.1.1). I know that there is a Digi Audio setup application in which you tell the digi coreaudio driver which applications can have access to the coreaudio driver. (I had to put Max in the list).

How does one do this with an application run from Terminal? I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. PD worked great with the last digi driver (vers. 1.2). I hope this new driver will play nicely.

Thanks in advance, Mitch
