OASYS PCI's catalog issue on MacOS 9

Post by MaximKorobov »

Installed Korg OASYS PCI 2.0 software.
Copyed some custom synths to OASYS PCI Folder.
It didn't see 3rd party files in catalog.
Why?

There is very little info to go on.

Might the 3rd party files have been created using a Windows PC? If so, drag the files into the OASYS Windows-MacOS Autotyper program to automatically add the "type" and "creator" attributes.

Reading the "Working with files" section in the OASYS_PCI User's Guide would be useful.

Thank you voip for fast response. Yes it helps catalog to see 3rd-party synths!

New problem is that MacOS now freeze when load those synths. Any ideas?

I think I found the solution.

First of all, press Option + Command + Escape to force quit from OASYS PCI editor. This tip help me to debug faster, not to reboot whole system.

Next I put into OASYS PCI FOLDER only one pack from Harm Visser. Catalog didn’t see new folder. Apply autotyper - note that effect didn’t apply to Effects and Patches files. No associated icons appeared as on Korg files.

Ok, then apply File Type 1.0.1. First drop correct files from Korg folders, then new files. Copy settings from one to another. Programs start loading, but with error about patches - didn’t see it.

Last, I created new Patches folder, copy typed files into it, removed old folder.

Voila! It works with Harm Visser pack. Will try with others. GH.

I have it and would like to share his pack here and in KORG OASYS PCI Facebook group, but there is copyright issue.
I emailed Harm some time about sharing his work, but with no response :(
