Just got word that MOTU is abandoning all MOTU serial port MIDI hardware owners as far as OS X goes. As far as MOTU is concerned, if you own a MOTU serial interface MIDI device, you can take your serial cable and shove it up...well, into a PC, maybe?
Got this from a friend who is stuck with a $400.00 paperweight with a pretty blue unicorn logo on it, currently doing battle with MOTU. The unit works just *fine* under OS 9.x, so it ain't the serial card, and it ain't the hardware. MOTU is just abandoning all support for their entire serial line apparently, at least as far as Mac OS X. I'll try to get more details as the saga drags on. Pathetic. |

 I also found this statement from an emagic emplyee. G-Dub On Mac OS X, every MIDI interface needs a MIDI driver, as all applications access MIDI interfaces via CoreMIDI, a part of OS X. In your case, you would need a driver from MotU. As Mac OS X does not support serial ports (only modems), writing such a driver is currently not possible. -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl.-Inform.
