fredfish,

OP states he wants to DL directly to the android tablet, then transfer to his desktop, not vice versa (I answered same as you initially).

*Edited. I changed my answer when I saw that you want to DL directly to your android tablet. No, I don't think that's possible. AFAIK, there's no separate download for the loops - at least for the last two versions of MC. And without a Windows machine, you can't run MC to initiate the download of lo...

Zoob, I'm curious, what anti-virus are you running?

Midi is not sound. As Panacotta posted, you need to connect the audio out from the Yamaha to your PC/sound card.

It looks like by calling it "compatible" they want to make believe that it runs with the higher speed a usb 3.0 interface would give. 3.0 usb interfaces are backwards compatible, i.e. run a 2.0 speed. Believe it, if their interface was really usb 3.0, they would advertise it in big letter...

You're getting the same message even after reinstalling Mixcraft?

Did you uninstall Mixcraft, reboot, then reinstall? Try that first.

By onboard I mean integrated. If you don't have another audio interface, then you are using the integrated sound card. Local Off is on the piano. It turns off the piano's built-in sounds, but still allows midi to transmit. First, we need to make sure you have the piano and laptop connected correctly...

I would also recommend getting a new sound card. Converters have improved significantly over the past two decades... I think you'd be very surprised at how much clearer the sound will be with even a modest-priced new interface. That said, if you are dead set on keeping the Delta 66, you absolutely n...

To disable onboard sounds from your piano, Local Off (piano/midi settings). It will still transmit midi to your laptop.

Are you using the laptop's onboard soundcard? What is your sound device under preferences?

Is this MC 7 you're talking about? The use of Wine/Linux is interesting and all that, but I've got too many Windows programs and not enough of a chip against Microsoft to abandon Windows at the moment. And I'm happy with Win 8.1, with no plans to go to Win 10 any time soon -- free or not. Of course,...

.... I have an AMD chip. AMD SYSTEM USERS If you're using an AMD system you should connect your Scarlett Solo to a USB 3.0 port after downloading and installing the driver. http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-solo/downloads Both AMD and Intel systems have USB 3.0 ports -- which do...

Yes, it's strange how USB3 is now standard on newer PCs/laptops, yet it seems Presonus is the only company that's figured out how to design a USB3 interface -- or, at least, how to make one that's profitable. I have a USB3 external drive and it's not even funny how much faster it is (transferring da...

A shot in the dark, but you might try the legacy Firewire drivers for Windows and see what happens.

Check out the free Reaplugs fx suite. I find the compressor and delay as good (or better) than its Sonitus counterparts:

Here's what they look like:

It looks like they were updated in 2012 by Cakewalk to work as VST effects according to this Cakewalk blog! http://blog.cakewalk.com/download-the-s ... nly-19-99/ Yes, the VST format were sold separately. Up until fairly recently they were still for sale at the Cakewalk website. I just looked and c...
