Melissa, I received my Bars & Pipes 2.0 Upgrade today. The UPS delivery man explained that it was supposed to have been delivered yesterday but their planes got snowed in in Nashville. I am delighted to receive 2.0 and look forward to a busy weekend of learning. I have discovered one problem with 2.0. I am using Triple Play Plus with Triple Play 1 Midi out going to my Kurzweil K-2000 and Triple Play 2 going to my Sound Canvas. I am not able to load the Triple Play Plus Midi 1 out tool into B&P 2.0. TPP1 Midi Out loaded fine in B&P 1.0e. In 2.0, TPP2 and TPP3 install fine, but not TPP1. I have simply reconnected my Kurzweil to TPP3 Midi out, but I thought you would like to know about this apparent bug. Also, my version 2.0 of B&P contains a different serial no. than my version of B&P1.0e, but no registration card was packaged with the 2.0 upgrade. Do we need to register the upgrade for tech support? Thanks for sending 2.0 by overnight air. Tom

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm… Let me check that out. I have a TPP here in our studio.

I'll be looking forward to your response on the failure of TPP1 tool to leoad into B&P 2.0. I have tried everything I can think of to get TPP1 to load without success. I even tried loading the TPP1 tool from Bars & Pipes 1.0e, but no luck. Again TPP2 and TPP3 load fine. I am in the process of changing a bunch of music sequenced under B&P 1.0e over to utilize TPP3 since I can get that to load and work fine. Tom

Tom, I had the same problem with it… i got it to use it correctly by getting rid of the regular midi out tool in my support/tools file and putting the one for tpp+ in there instead. It seems to work now, except it does have problems sending to it sometimes, which i can force it to do via the tpp+ accessory… tom

Tom, Thanks for your help. Removing the regular midi out tool did the trick and TPP1 then loaded nicely. Tom

I talked with Todor about your problem. He indicated that TPP1 will not work if you have the "regular" MIDI In loaded. Do you have this Tool loaded? Please let me know. /m

Melissa, Thanks very much for the prmopt response. B&P 2.0's default set of tools includes the regular midi out tool. As soon as I removed the regular midi out tool from the toolbox, I was able to load in TPP1 Midi Out. I haven't tried it to make sure it works, but I feel certain it does, since prior to removing the regular midi out tool, I couldn't even load TPP1 midi out. Again thanks for the help! Really like the new documentation with 2.0, especially the chapter on music tools …and I'm just getting started in discovering all the many great new features of 2.0. Looks like you folks have produced a real winner. Tom
