Problems recognising Edirol UM1 MIDI interface

I'm posting here because I know people who use Logic are very knowledgeable about these things ...
Our music department at school has 3 macs. One runs 10.3 and recognises the UM1 - MIDI works fine ... if only I can remember which to switch on first.
I took EVERYTHING to the next machine (running 10.2) - interface, cables and keyboard. Nothing. No lights or anything. We restarted, reintalled the drivers and all that sort of stuff. I even cleared out all the devices in Audio MIDI Setup and reinstalled the drivers. Now it won't even recognise the interface (system profiler just says Vendor Specific usb device).
I tried the M-Audio Oxygen 8 - no problems.
I even tried a new account, but nothing works. We are at a loss. I am the nearest thiing to a "Mac Expert" at school - Our IT manager just says things like "We said you should have bought PCs" (I wonder what he says when the PCs crash? I don't think he knows Unix!).
Strange thing is all the machines have worked with the interfaces before. They have just stopped over the summer break. Is there some magic sequence for settting up MIDI that I should know about?
We are running Cubase SE, but I doubt that makes a difference. We aren't getting that far!
Thanks ... but we need these machines running tomorrow for an Open day "see how good we are"!!!!!

10.2.8 ? or earlier ?
Probably earlier ... I'm at home now so I can't really check
If earlier update.
Not (legally) possible. I have Panther lying about, but it's mine; I have a iBook running Panther and it would be breaking the terms of the license to install it on another machine (but we all know this!)
Try trashing AMS prefs. ( ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio. AudioMIDISetup.plist )
I was looking for a pref to trash! Wouldn't creating a new account and logging in as that rule that possibility out though?
Dunno. I'll try tomorrow. In the mean time, have a "thanks" and a "+" on me

Edirol Audio/Midi Interface and Yamaha Keyboard

Hi everybody,
I just got an Edirol Audio/Midi interface UA-20, installed correctly with latest drivers, garage band recognizes it. Now I want to connect my old Yamaha PSR SQ16 keyboard through it, but somehow it doesn't work. Can anybody please give me a guidance on how to connect it properly, maybe i'm too dumb for that...
Thanks for any help!

I'm shure you must have already figured this out, becouse it's very simple thing to do, but I'll post my answer anyway, perhaps someone else has the same problem.
The Yamaha PSR SQ16 has a "MIDI OUT" plug, in the back of the sinthetizer. To connect with de UA20 Edirol, all you need to do is to get a midi cable (you can find it in every music store) and plug the Yamaha PSR SQ16 MIDI OUT to the Edirol UA20 MIDI IN.
And boy, that's it.
All the fantastic sounds and samples that cames with Garageband, are now triggerd through your Yamaha PSR SQ16.
Things to check: in the AUDIO MIDI UTILITY, be shure that the UA20 is set as de midi in out device.
In Preferences of Garageband, be shure to check that the UA20 is set as audio and midi interface.
Hope this be helpfull.
I apologise for my english, it isn't my first language.
Saludos

I have a problem recognising Edirol UA-25 as a midi driver.

The software has loaded OK and is visible in the Audio Midi Set dialogue box but not in the MIDI Studio box. Audio recording works fine on Logic Express 8.
I've tried rescanning with the device connected but so far the mac can't detect it.
No doubt I'm missing something obvious but any help would be really valued.
Thanks.

Hi,
the Edirol may have a switch on it's back where you can change between simple and advanced driver mode. Make sure you have it set to advanced and have the correct driver software installed. Else, set it to simple mode.

MIDI interface not recognized after Mavericks install

Hi,
I was using a Midisport UNO with OSX 10.6, connecting my keyboard with the Mac Pro and using programs such as Live and Garageband. After the Mavericks install, I have a bunch of obsoleted hardware. I understand that Midisport have not come up with a driver to support Mavericks just yet. But that is not my issue.
Today, I purchased a new MIDI interface, one that is class compliant and so requires no driver software. According to everything that I have read, from external literature to the interface's literature, the device should work just fine. But my Mac Pro doesn't recognize the device in the Audio and MIDI Setup utility. In fact, it recognizes the Midisport UNO just fine but that device is greyed out and I guess this means there is no correct driver.
I have noticed that the Mac Pro seems to turn off ports when supplying power to USB devices. Sometimes, the front USB ports will not connect my iPhone to iTunes, for example. When I restart, the power sometimes returns. So is this a power issue or does my connectivity problem lie with the MIDI interface?
Thank you

I just purchased a new iMac running Mavericks. I have an M-Audio Keystation 49e, I have the same issue. It won't work or be recognized in adui/midi setup. It is there, just greyed out. I have searched everywhere for a fix. All you find is delete this, delete that. It worked fine on Mountain Lion, now it is useless to me. I have tried running it through a hub, doesn't fix the issue. I use power as opposed to just the USB, doesn't fix the issue. Can someone please point us in the right direction so we don't have to go spend more money on a midi keyboard because of Mavericks?

Tascam US-122 midi interface problem

Hi,
A week ago I hooked up a US-122 midi interface to my iMac and it worked perfectly. Tonight for some reason, I'm not getting response from it. The USB green light is on and the iMac is detecting it. When I try to play music using iTunes, the song won't begin if the output is set to the US-122. Soon as I change the audio output setting to "Built-in output" iTunes works fine.
I've taken out the driver and reinstalled it. Still no luck. It worked fine for a week, don't understand why it just suddenly stopped working.
Thanks ahead for any help

I'm agree if most of Apple product is more compatible with those kind of devices
But as home musician :) I'm not agree if you think that its not compatible with Windows 8.1, I would say its not compatible yet, because most of that device launched before Windows 8.1 release, some of the manufactured will be update their driver
trough software update or via firmware update (unless that product is discontinue or don't have anymore support)
Example for your Midi devices which TASCAM US-122 Audio/MIDI interface, even that product already discontinued and Windows 8.1 just launched last year. Most of this midi devices is plug and play, its supposed to be depend software that you are using like
Cubase, garage band or else
My suggestion is find the reliable audio software which support to Windows 8.1 first, and do most of audio processing outside the PC using preamp or mixer, and made the input to the PC using single input soundcard (external or internal)
I've proofed that my Behringer mixer work with both my Windows 8.1 and MacBook via Cube base and garage band. I put all the instrument to mixer and via build in external sound card from Behringer I plug it to my PC, so I Control everything from my mixer
Unless you want to buy high tech mixer with wireless capability it will be awesome, like presonus or else
OS is not the limitation, you can install your Windows PC with Mac OS also you can installed your Mac with Windows OS. Update your Windows PC chipset to get the latest USB peripheral and PCI controller device list
You should posted this question to audio forum, not here, so other professional sound engineer will assist you better. Good luck anyway

Audio/midi interface compatibility with Logic Express Mac osx 10.6.5

hi all, I'm looking for a compatible audio/midi interface to use with the latest mac os. I recently purchased a Ediroll UA25 but was unable to get it working . I installed the latest drivers from the Roland site but when plugged in it just wasn't being recognised. I sent it back and got a full refund but now I am insure if the Ediroll was faulty or if it wasn't compatible with os 10.6.5. I am now in the process of looking to purchase another interface but am looking for help from you guys.
Thanks in advance,
kiev

Hi,
just out of curiousity: did you use the UA-25 or the UA-25EX? I know the 25EX has a driver switch on it's back where you can enable a standard driver which should be compatible to OS X without an additional driver.
However, i didn't find another interface including a compressor except for the Yamaha Audiogram 6, if you need this feature.
If you don't need it, buy a MOTU, preferably with firewire, or a Presonus. If you want quality, maybe an Apogee Duet. I myself - due to shortage of funds - still use either my Tascam Fireone or my Alesis I/O 2. The Alesis sounds nice for it's price, but i won't buy any of these lower end interfaces anymore. You get what you pay for. I also used the Edirol UA-25EX for a time, but this was before snow leopard, so i can't really say "Yes or No", but it was definitely a very good interface compared to it's price. I won't recommend M-Audio, however, but others like it.

Which is the best MIDI interface to use with Logic 7 ?

Hi folks :o)
Firstly, thanks all for any advice you can give. I'm a pro user, but right in the middle of a major upgrade (G4/OS9/CubaseVST32 >> G5/OSX/CubaseSX3/Logic7) & feel a huge learning curve coming on!
The situation is this:
I have a Steinberg Midex 8 midi interface, plus a MOTU MTPav in the cupboard. The Midex took place of the MTPav because it had much better midi timing under OS9 with Cubase... The Midex8 drivers for OSX, however, are still beta & a pile of rubbish. (It keeps losing communication with the G5.) I'm fed up with how bad Steinberg have been sorting (not!) these problems out (not to mention the fact that Cubase SX3 can't recognise my 'studio' created in Audio Midi Setup either.. arghh!), so I'm considering jumping ship & going entirely to Logic in one hit, plus whichever is the best midi-interface for this software & OSX.
As food for thought, I'm currently thinking of tracking down a 'Unitor 8', having made the (perhaps wrong) assumption that it'd work 'best' with Logic seeing as it was made by Emagic. BUT, despite a lengthy search in Logic 7's manuals & this forum, I can't find any mention of Emagic's 'Active Midi Transmission' protocol & whether or not Logic 7 supports it; AMT is the only reason I'd buy the Unitor. (I've got all the other bases covered with the MTPav.) I'm also concerned about the long-term support issues regarding drivers for the Unitor 8 & OSX; ****, I'm having enough problems with Steinberg & their Midex 8 (which is still a current product in theory!) without throwing Emagic & a midi interface that's no longer manufactured into the pot...
So..... What do you folks feel is the best midi interface to use with Logic 7 as regards tight midi timing & system reliability? Can anyone out there with a big midi setup categorically say "I've got one (or more) of these MIDI interfaces, it works beautifully under OSX & Logic 7, & the MIDI timing is rock-solid, even when put under heavy midi 'duress' " ??
Many thanks again in advance for any feedback!
Your new Logic Pro virgin ;o)
Jason

Thanks for your reply folks. It's good to hear a number of you are having good results with your MTPav - I guess I'll pull mine out of the cupboard in that case!
As an aside, it's been interesting to note how difficult it's been to get a clear answer from companies (be it shops or Apple) as to whether or not Logic 7 supports 'Active Midi Transmission' on the old Unitor 8 MkII..... (The reference manual has one mention of it in the index, yet points to a page that doesn't say anything about AMT at all!)
If anyone here DOES have a clear answer about AMT with Logic 7, I'd be very interested to hear about it... thanks.
Kind regards,
JC

Edirol UM-1ex interface compatibility

Hey guys,
Just wondering if any has had issues with the 10.5.2 update being compatible with there USB MIDI interfaces.
I have a Roland Juno-D synth plugged into my iMac via the edirol UM-1ex interface. I had avoided the 10.5.2 update (as i know how many problems its still causing) but unfortunately it was installed the other day. Now my synth is not working with Logic 8/Garageband.
The MIDI Audio device doesn't seem to be working either. When you create a setup and then click 'Test Setup' the cursor should turn into musical notes but it no longer does.
I've been in contact with Pro Apps (who have no clue on what to do) and turned me to forums, i've spoken with Edirol who have subsequently hit the roof that their product is no longer compatible.
Im just hoping that im not the only one experiencing this so i can positively point out that the update has caused this and its not my equipment. If anyone has any info regarding this i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi
Have you installed the latest driver?
Have you restarted the Mac?
Have you shut down, re-connected the UM then re-started the Mac? ( A cold boot will re-set the USB bus).
Do you have any other USB devices connected ( remove them and repeat Shut down + Restart)

Audio/midi interface, FW800 enclosure, nearfield monitors for MacBook Pro?

I'm running Logic 9 on my MacBook Pro, having switched over completely to a laptop based solution from my previous Mac Pro.
My previous audio/midi interface was a Digidesign FW400 MBox, but I want to switch to a USB audio/midi interface plus an external FW800 enclosure as my recording drive.
I am also looking to replace my aging Roland nearfield monitors with something smaller. I mostly run soft synths and plug-ins (I have an old UAD-2 PCI and am trying to crossgrade to the ExpressCard solution too).
And I'm running Snow Leopard.
S0 my questions are these:
1) What would be a good USB2 audio/midi interface. I only need 1 x 1 for the midi (but 2 x 2 would be nice), plus XLR and 1/4 audio ins and both analog and digital outs. Decent Mac drivers a must!
2) Any recommendations for very small but decent quality nearfield monitors? I like the Genelec's, but for whatever reason they only appear to have XLR ins. SPDIF or 1/4 analog ins would be cool -- anything compatible with 1) above.
3) What is a good recommendation for a FW800 enclosure? Obviously looking for something quiet. My only audio in would be vocals, and they'd be recorded in the same room as the drives. There are some fanless options out there, but upon enquiry I've been advised I'd have to shut them down every four hours or so. I do have an old FW800 OWC twin drive enclosure, but despite the 'whisper quiet' claims, that thing sounds like a taxiing Learjet.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or recommendations!

'Perfect' rather depends on what you want to do with it - microphone input? Level meter? Just a simple A-D converter? digital inputs?
I've used an earlier version of this device for some years with no problems (no MIDI though):

Other interfaces by Roland: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productlist.php?ParentId=104 - Edirol (taken over by roland) used to make MIDI interfaces as well but Roland don't seem to.

USB MIDI interface on Cool Edit Pro v2 (Adobe Audition) ARGGHHH! Help needed....

Before I shell out on a Roland MIDI interface midi cable for my my home studio can anyone tell me if it will work? I had a working setup for years with an HP Pavilion Win XP and Creative Audigy Platinum Ex sound card using the Audigy external breakout box for the midi in/out. Very old but worked fine with my (legit) Cool Edit Pro. The old PC gave up the ghost so I bought a new ASUS one i5 Intel CPU with a SSD for the OS Apps as well as 1Tb HDD for storage.
I installed Win 7 as XP is not supported anymore.
THEN I bought a PCIe to PCI interface (the old Audigy card being standard PCI)
THEN I found that the new Win 7 drivers for the Audigy do not support the 'daughter board' and breakout box so the MIDI interface does not work..
Easy way round that ( I thought ), I will install XP and dual boot the new PC.
THEN I found that the EUFI is incompatible with XP.
THEN I found a way to install XP except that most of the drivers don't work and the XP runs like a dog. You can either have EUFI SATA setup correctl and see the SSD or have XP and the SSD not recognised.
by the way
The sound card is native on the MB Hi-def surround so Ian probably use that.
Can anyone tell me if I install a Roland Midi In Out USB cable between my MIDI control keyboard Synth will the Cool Edit Pro recognise it in the Midi device configuration and allow me to input receive MIDI data in the Program?. I'm losing the 'will to live right' now having already acknowledged that my SB is now a piece of useless junk. Cool Edit seems to install and run fine on Win 7 by the way apart from this MIDI problem.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that and the quick reply. I suppose shelling out another £40 isn’t going to make a lot of difference having blown £70+ on a PCIe to PCI convertor which is a bit pointless now and especially if it will save me the cost of updating the soundcard and recording software. I tend to use an external mixer (Tascam) to input and monitor from the PC software. I suspect , like you, it should work once I de-install the Audigy HW stuff as although the soundcard plays the CEP demo the device config window only ‘sees’ that and not the onboard sound hardware. Fun times ahead.
Thanks again

Intel Mac - MIDI Interfaces

Hi Everyone -
Can anyone help me? I have 2 USB MIDI interfaces, both Emagic: an MT4 and an AMT8. Bot work with my PowerBook G4, but I've just bought an Intel Mac, and the drivers don't seem to work; the Intel doesn't recognise either of them. I desperately need a solution to hook them both together, so I can use the standalone versions of the plugins I've bought, NONE of which have yet been successfully ported over to work on the Intel.
Yours, stranded....

Hi,
I have the Unitor8mkii,and the first time I used my new intel macbook,it did give me some trouble.The only solution I had,was to unplug the Unitor,and then plug it in again.Apparently,the Mac's AudioMidi setup utility had lost communication with the Unitor.After re-plugging it,AMS saw it,and it has worked great since.I use the unitor8mkii for a Mackie MCU,a Line6 Pod,and an old roland JX3P keyboard,and a now obsolete Edirol PCR30 (not supported on Intel Macs,and discontinued as well)and they all are seen by Logic Pro.
hopefully all you have to do is re-connect the USB cable.Sometimes it gets loose from the Unitor side,so check both ends.

What's a good hardware set up for a solo musician? USB pedal USB keyboard audio interface MIDI interface?

I am new to Main Stage. I have not bought any hardware interfaces yet because I don't know what will be the most flexible in the long run. I would be using the Main Stage's innate synths and keyboards, drums, an acoustic/electric guitar, bass, harmonicas and vocals. What type of hardware would you recommend? MIDI/USB keyboards? MIDI interface? Audio interface? USB pedal board controllers?
Would guys help me with specific suggestions and pointer on how I can make a good choice based on my needs?
much thanks!
Fabio.

Then below this is the recording level slider which is all the way to the left or at 0. This is where the problem lies I think as this slider is greyed out and cannot be moved!

External midi interface connection. Please HELP!!!!

Hi,
I just got the iMac 20 inch widescreen, primaritly for use in my recording studio.
I have tried on three different occasions, to install an external midi interface (MOTU Micro Lite), but it is not recognised in the system's midi set up window, and it's driving me nuts! Can someone please tell me what to do. Maybe I'm not getting some things properly set up before the installation.
The MOTU installation cd says it is compatible with Mac OS X operating system.

You've posted in the OS X Server area.
Any special reason why ?
Did you install the software for the device ? :P

FireWire Audio/MIDI interface suggestions

Hi there,
I'm looking to purchase a firewire external audio and MIDI interface but am having trouble finding what I need.
I only need stereo audio in and out (much like the Apogee Duet), as well as a MIDI interface. The interfaces I've seen around seem to have 14+ channels. As I already have a mixing desk they would all go to waste.
Basically the Duet would be ideal, only it doesn't have a MIDI interface. Does anyone know of any piece of hardware like this?
The other option would of course be to get the Duet and a seperate MIDI interface- but I'd prefer to have them both in one box if possible.
Thanks for any suggestions

If that is your only problem get the Duet and buy yourself a two in two out Midi interface,
which should set you back 40 to 50 USD.

Problems with Sinn7 Audio USB Interface on Mountain Lion

Hi Guys.
I have problems with my USB Audio Interface Sinn7 Status 24/96 on Mountain Lion system.
When i istalled drivers, system doesn't detect the card. After the system reboot, when i pluck the card in to usb, system makes a kernel panic.
My hardware: MacBook Pro 15'' Late 2011 / OS X Mountain Lion / Audio Interface: Sinn7 Status 24/96.

Hey DSevenPL,
Have you sorted this issue yet? I'm having the same problem on my mid 2012 Macbook Pro.
I had been running the sound card earlier on the same machine that you have (late 2011) w/out a problem but then got the new machine and it wouldn't read the sound card. Same issues as you.
Months of searching has turned up with nothing (and Sinn is unresponsive) so any insight would be greatly appreciated!
