If you can't find the XP driver version, let me know, I might have an install disk floating around here that I could either send yo a copy of, or I might perhaps even be able to zip the contents of the disc and DropBox the contents to you I'd also suggest going to M-Audio's website/support page and downloading the most recent drivers for it, if you haven't done so already, but before you install the new drivers, I would do a complete uninstall of the previous drivers.ĭo this in Control Panel, (uninstall program) as opposed to just deleting files/folder/.dll's manually, to insure that all old drivers are actually deleted from the folder and the system/registry. I don't recall now, but after letting it continue to do it's thing, the drivers did install completely and the midi i/o then worked fine. It was only after going through this about 3 separate times, that I finally allowed that second install prompt to continue by clicking "okay" - it might have even said "continue" or "finish". I'd encountered this several times, and I always just cancelled out/closed that second prompt, figuring it was already done - because after the first step, I was getting midi RX/TX lights - but no actual midi TX. You'll do the standard install, and it will come up as finished, but then, after several moments, a second install window will pop up, prompting you to continue the installation. The installation can be deceiving on these drivers. but when you reinstalled the M-Audio Midisport drivers, there are actually two steps to the install - I learned this the hard way after a lot of hair-pulling when I installed mine 10 years ago, when I was still using XP. I'm gonna throw out a thought I had, and I could certainly be wrong about this. I might not have a choice but to buy this since I can't seem to find anything that works with XP, because the consumer today believes that "new is better" so all the software company's jump on that mindset as an excuse to not develop drivers for older systems.

It's all about Mass Marketing, Mass Consumption today I guess. I know computers are getting faster, but it's too early for the industry to start doing away with all these connections, and interfaces. But nothing beats busing in external rack effects - passing on the work load to the CPU in the rack unit to crunch the data, thus keeping the load off your computer's CPU. Don't get me wrong, I think software plug-ins are great things to have, things like Waves, FM7, Ivory. I said to him, " what about the people who have external rack units that still use them?" He said, "people are moving away from rack units too." It's ridiculous. Two different guys at guitar center (from different stores) told me that people are moving away from the 5 port midi jack style. So much is changing in this industry because the mentality of the consumer. Go figure, it's the most expensive midi interface. On a side note: Everything I try to buy in stores is only sold online. If your Midi unit works well Chris, hold on to it, you might never see anything like it again.Īll these new software features are nice and all, but just as with new cars, there's more to go wrong. You plug it in and set your channels and that's it. I don't know how I feel about this iConnect unit yet. $80 bucks is a lot for just two midi ports. It looks like they put some time into their software. Not like all this plastic junk they're making today.īy the way, thanks for the link! I'll save this one. You know what looks cool? Is that equipment in your aviator Chris. Who else makes Midi interfaces with good written drivers? And windows hardware wizard just decided to prompt me to be pointed to the drivers again as though it forgot to install a driver. The Thru-button on the Mini 2x2 is suppose to bypass USB and make a direct connection from the keyboard to the Nano Piano in the event that you didn't want to go though your operating system, It always worked that way for me, but now it won't. M-Audio has very poorly written drivers, they've always been flaky. So this tells me the issue is related to the M-Audio driver in windows. But if I plug the keyboard directly into the Nano Piano rack, it works fine. (The red midi activity light won't even light). Now all the sudden I can't get midi signal to my Nano Piano using an 88 es keyboard. I've been using the M-Audio 2x2 Midi sport, never had an issue. Can someone recommend a Midi interface company with good drivers compatible with Windows, XP, Win7, 8.
