i've recently got a mac mini (1.42 1gig ram) to replace my ageing iBook which was struggling to keep up. however i've intalled the g4 versions of maxi-patch and binky toy and as soon as the program opens, it closes itself again. i'm running tiger and have had no other problems with other software, and i'm still using my fa101 interface which is working fine with cubase and reason. anyone got any suggestions?

Did you download the externals?

I believe this problem (program won't start) actually has a lot more to do with Tiger than with the Mac Mini.



Could you please email me the crash log? This should be found in



YourUserName/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/



and should be called something like BinkyToy_XXX_XX.crash.log and/or Maxi-Patch_XXX_XXX.crash.log..



Have those would really help me solve this problem.



Thanks!

ok, i'm in the stage of copying things across so the mini doesn't have net yet, but i'll email it to you in about three days, thanks for the continuing help! mspinky rocks!!

right i've finally had a chance to sort out my network, and i've found that the full mac update has sorted out the problem, everything's running well, thanks for the help

i also have a mini mac, but are you running osx 10.4.3?

also do i need the maxi patch and everything?



what do I all need to buy in order to get my scratch on?

Ms Pinky will definitely work with OSX Tiger 10.4.3, or higher. So it sounds like the main thing left for you to get is the audio converter. I recommend the U46DJ by Ego Systems because it's economical and allows direct turntable connection.



Please check out the Physical Setup page on the site:

You just have to plug your turntables into the inputs on the U46DJ, then plug the outputs of the U46DJ into your mixer.

is videoscratching working on mac mini ?



is there some latency with the built in soundcard ?



do the trick that people use on the I-mac G5 to get a video out works on it ?
