Problems With Os 10.2 Midi Settings Options

[georgecrawford]

Hi - hope someone can help!

I have just upgraded to Jaguar, and can't seem to setup my midi studio.

I use an Evolution controller keyboard connected via USB using the Yamaha UX96 interface.

I don't quite understand the new "Audio Midi Setup" utility. When I click "Rescan Midi", my Yamaha box should presumably appear if it is properly setup. Is this right? Cos it doesn't!

I fear the problem is a lack of driver.

I have the driver disk for the UX96, but the only mac driver installer opens in Classic mode, so is therefore not Carbonised I deduce.

Can anyone tell me where to find a UX96 driver for Jaguar? (I've tried the Yamaha website, obviously). I have installed the driver onto OS 9.2, but I presume I must have a driver specifically for OS 10.2 to use it with that system?

Thanks for any help.

Damann, you being damann and all,

Does what you're saying mean that the much-ballyhooed "core MIDI services" is essentially a wannabe OS-level OMS/FreeMIDI replacement, but instead of PROVIDING drivers/compatibility with existing MIDI interfaces and devices, Apple is relying entirely on the manufacturers to provide them? In other words, is this a well-thought out, planned, schemed, intentional anarchy by Apple where the only casualties will be the toes of musicians kicking their expensive equipment, trying in vain to get it to work with their Macs?
