Pro Audio Support

Q:
I have just purchased the B4 upgrade for OS X including the additional tonewheels. I can't get the tonewheels to authorize. They keep giving an error message each time i try.
 
A:
It might be confusing, but you will need to have the OS 9 B4 installation CD entered in order to authorize the tonewheels.

In fact the process of authorizing the tonewheels at all using the OS 9 B4 installtion CD (!) is sometimes a bit tricky. Please enter the OS 9 installation CD of B4. You do not have to click anything on this disc nor to open it. then start the previously installed B4 for OS X. You will be prompoted to locate the tonewheels folder in a file dialog window. Do so, navigate to the B4 folder, find the tonewheels folder, open it and select one of the files there which have the ending "twc". Press open. After a short time B4 will come up and all is done.

Notice please: it might be the case that the file dialog to find the tonewheels appears twice. If so, show the tonewheels to the B4 as described above once again, then the process will be sufficient.

• Since installing the OS X 1.1.3 update of the B4 Organ, I cannot recall my older presets stored in Logic 5.x or Logic 6.x on OS X. I can create new presets and it will recall them, but I can't retreive my older ones, of which I have many.
• I'm having an issue with latency with the B-4. It works fine for a while while i'm recording in pro tools, but then if i use the volume pedal while playing, then the latency starts. also, when i change songs the latency is literally 45 seconds to a minute long. i'm sure i just have something set wrong. can you help?

• When I select the B4 in the usual instrument channel it appears, but creates a terrible distorted droning sound. Visually the plug in is fine, and responds to midi input; sonically there is no reponse to midi. If I select a different audio instrument, or arrange track, the noise disappears, but as soon as I re-select it, it comes back. As it stands, the instrument is unusable - I'd like your advice as to how to solve this problem.
