USB kills my MIDI cable in (Snow)

[simonharris]

Hi, I have a question please. I have a Snow and are using it as soundcard on my Mac, so of course the USB is connected. I also have a keyboard connected via Midi so that I can just play with the Virus anytime without having to launch Logic. The problem I have is that sometimes the plain old Midi in from the keyboard does not work, I hit the keys and get nothing from the Snow. The Midi input seems to have trouble working if the USB is connected.

If I disconnect the USB then the Midi in starts working (but of course I don't want to do this because I use Snow as a soundcard).

Sometimes both work but after a while the Midi disappears. It seems like they are both fighting for input control of the Snow and USB always wins in the end. Does anyone else have this problem and did you happen to find a solution?

I would just like to be able to play my Snow at any time without having to launch logic and set it up as a plugin.

Thanks!
