Is there a way to plug a Magma ExpressCard 34 to a EC34 to Thunderbolt adapter (such as the one from Sonnet)? Or is there a way to have a longer cable, longer than the 1.5 meter option, to connect a…Continue
HELP! ProTools 10HD Magma 4 slot and new MacBook Pro 17 Late 2011

I was using a MacBook Pro 15" 4,1 (Early 2008) just fine with a 4-slot Magma chassis housing an HD4 ProTools system, connected via ExpressCard 34. I just bought a new MacBook Pro 17" late 2011 8,3 in…Continue

Can Magma please comment on the compatibility of our current Magma PCI expansion chassis with OSX Lion? Will we need to update drivers, cables, interfaces, etc? I own a 4 slot and a 1 slot, and have…Continue

"Thanks,... was just editing my previous post... But, why would they need to have thunderbolt drivers if they are connecting directly to the PCIe card? Wouldn't it be that it is the PCIe card the one that should have thunderbolt drivers? Or work…"

"Thanks for your reply... I'm confused now. Wouldn't the ProTools cards installed in the 4-slot chassis (part number CB4DRQ) see the Magma PCIe card, part number PEHIFX1, as if it was installed in a computer? Then the ExpressBox 1T would do…"

"The Magma chassis will work fine but not the Pro Tools cards. They are not going to work at all because the Pro Tools PCI cards are not Thunderbolt compatible."

"Ok. One last try... I have a 4 slot with the EC34 card. If I purchase the PCIe card for the 4 slot, and a Magma ExpressBox 1T or 3T to thunderbolt chassis, will that work? Basically running like this:

Magma PCI (not PCIe) ExpressCard 34 and Thunderbolt
Is there a way to plug a Magma ExpressCard 34 to a EC34 to Thunderbolt adapter (such as the one from Sonnet)? Or is there a way to have a longer cable, longer than the 1.5 meter option, to connect a 4 slot with ProTools PCI cards to a MacBook Pro 17 late 2011? I am not sure that those ExpressCard 34 to Thunderbolt adapters in the market will work with the EC34 with a Magma 4 slot PCI. Can someone confirm if any of these adapters/units work?See More

"Thanks for your reply.
I have figured something out. I have now installed the 4 cards in the chassis. I found out that after turning the computer off, if I disconnect the EC34 card from the computer, then first turn the chassis and the audio…"

"I have now tested starting the MacBook Pro 17 with an external drive that has 10.6.8 and ProTools 9.0.3 which used to work just fine. Same issues. Only recognizes one card. With two cards, computer starts but doesn't recognize the PCI cards.…"

"The session I am using has now no TDM plugins. All plugins are Native, so it should not be using the PCI bus. It has 41 total channels, it is using 76 out of 96 voices and 59 out of 512 TDM slots. CPU (Native) when idle hovers around 55%. When idle…"

"One more thing I have noticed. With only 1 card running in the 4-slot chassis, this is the first time that I have PCI bus errors (too slow). The meter in ProTools goes red. Never before had it gone past 15% or so, and that was with 4 cards in the…"
