Issues & Solutions / Version History

Cubase System|2

This document describes Issues you may encounter using the software and possible workarounds.

Issue

Solution

Mac only: Interface is sporadically not recognized after boot-up.

Unplug the MI2, restart your computer and plug-in the MI2

after booting is finished

Mac only: Changing the Sample Rate in the USB ASIO panel does not

work

Sample Rate must be set in the Project Setup Window

VST Connection Busses are sometimes not refreshed correctly when a

project is loaded that has more busses than provided by the ASIO

driver

Reset Devices Menu / Device Setup / VST Inputs or VST

Outputs

MI2 does not work after Computer was in sleep (Standby Mode)

Re-connect USB cable

PC only: connecting the MI2 to a different USB port calls for re-

installation of the drivers

Do not follow the instructions from the Windows Hardware

Wizard, but re-install the original MI2 drivers. Avoid

connecting the MI2 to different USB ports – or install the

original MI2 drivers for every USB port in your system

Playback may be distorted and finally mute in 96kHz/88,2 kHz modes.

Re-connecting the device or switching sample-rates once

usually fixes this. On Intel Macs, use a higher buffer-size

when needed.

Fixes in driver/software 2.813*

Windows installer has been updated to run flawlessly under Windows Vista32

* New version numbering for drivers

Fixes in Firmware 1.06

If a MIDI Keyboard (or similar device) is continuously sending MIDI Clock to the MI2 MIDI IN, the MI2 audio may stop working after a

certain period of time. Hanging MIDI notes may occur when playing on the keyboard.

Certain A/D Converters in a limited number of units still cause an initialization problem of the firmware which leads to audio clicks or

noise on the inputs until the word clock source has been toggled one (int/ext).

Fixes in Firmware 1.04

An initialization problem causes the audio input signal to be noisy after startup/launch of the computer.

OSX only: sometimes the MIDI-Out LED would flicker instead of MIDI-In with no MIDI port enabled. This was a left-over from a special

test version.

Fixes in driver/software 1.02

Windows installer has been updated to run flawlessly under Windows XP Service Pack 2

After opening the MI2 Panel: A warning message appears, when the MI2 is connected to the wrong USB port and the driver has not

been properly installed

Fixes in Firmware 1.02

Optimization of MIDI loop

Fixes audio dropouts or noise problems at 48 kHz sampling rate

Fixes initialization problem, when MI2 would produce noise after connecting or re-connecting
