HOWEVER…..it NEVER even occurred to me it couldn't be connected via USB to my iMac as the Zoom + it's a bit of an handful to import/export presets or edit them via the iMac & as far as i could determine, one needs a MIDI to USB interface & you need a program someone made ( NOT TC.. ) as mentioned here : [url="http://forum.tcelectronic.com/topic/8264/nova-editor/"]http://forum.tcelect...64/nova-editor/[/url] to do any of the above + update the Nova's firmware, etc….[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]now, what i would like was to get something which would work BOTH as a MIDI to USB interface between the TC Elec. Nova & my iMac AND would act as a regular audio/USB interface to allow me to record[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]can anyone PLEASE shed some light on what would be a NICE MIDI to USB & audio to USB interface ? i know NOTHING about MIDI, am dreading dealing with it but can't help feel that if it's the only way to access my Nova's well….what can i do ?[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]i just want a gizmo i can plug my Nova into it's MIDI, then plug into my iMac via USB to import/export, edit, reorder my presets & when all that is done, use as a simple audio to USB interface to record my stuff[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]PLEASE write your answers as if addressing an idiot because, that's pretty much how it is …LOL…i'm at a TOTAL LOSS HERE & any help/suggestions WILL BE most appreciated[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]thank you very much for your time & patience[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Nuno[/font][/color] Edited May 23, 2014 by nuno1959 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
