Apple/Emagic mt|4 amt8 unitor8MKII 2021 USB MIDI Driver

any news from this buddies?

Hello, i also have to thank the driver, finally AMT8 has the opportunity to work again, but I confirm that there is really a problem with switching presets on tools. I've tried about 8 synths and everyone does it. There is a tendency to switch the preset, but then it reverts back to the original. Roland SH-01A even freezes. When connected to mioXL, everything is fine and preset switching works.

Thanks for checking out the issue.

This driver was a work in progress, and was not finished (and seemingly abandoned at this stage unless the OP decides to come back to it) so is not recommended for anything but testing, unfortunately.

I understand and I will hope. The equipment is really high quality and it's a shame not to use it.

Thanks so much for your reply and good luck.

it feels sooo closse to be done! With this driver, my MIDI keyboard just plays one note at a time :'(

I'm very close to buy a Class Compliant USB keyboard but... ...so frustrating :'(

FWIW, I gave up, but I am keeping both my Unitors just in case someone at Apple gets around to updating the drivers. But until that happens. I ended up getting a Midiplus MIDI16x16 (https://amzn.to/3H1tmYn - a core midi compatible 16x16 USB3 interface. It is a somewhat odd 1.5 U rack size, and depending on your rack the bottom screw holes may not line up. All the jacks are on back (having the one pair on the front of the Unitor was handy), but the build quality on mine seems fine. It handles sysex well so far, has been rock stable, and worked right out of the box, no drivers. My old school Mackie MCU is responsive and all my older synths work fine with Midiquest. Logic setup was effortless. It's powered through the usb connection. Other than the odd size and no front jacks, my only other quibble is that it has a very bright white LED for the power indicator. But I wish I had got this sooner rather than fighting with alpha drivers on the Unitors for all those frustrating weeks after upgrading to an M1.

 

It met my needs to replace 2 Unitors, so I am passing it on as an option.

I like the format of that device, could replace my MOTU MTP's eventually. Do you know if this device has Midi Timestamping built into the hardware, as is the case with MOTU MTP and Unitor?

I'm still believing in Santa: correct drivers will appear for Xmas right? :')

++ any feedback about Kenton gear? Is it Class Compliant?

@dewedman24 I have only used basic midi clock with the midipius 16 (which worked fine syncing external gear to logic), but it doesn't have any LTC inputs or outs like the Unitor if that is what you are asking. Afraid I haven't used any advanced time code stuff since the 90s so I may have misunderstood your question!

 

Here is the manufacturer's site with the manual, but documentation is sparse and support was very slow to answer any technical questions. I just took a chance with Amazon figuring I would return if it didn't work.

Let me know if you need me to test anything specific with a file or something.

If you're happy with it, don't worry about it. MTS is something different. Nobody supports MTS these days except for MOTU as for as I can tell. You can read about it here:

What is MTS (MIDI Time Stamping)

I still wondered ... if the author didn't feel like continuing or didn't have the time, if he would provide the source code. Surely someone skilled in finishing the driver would find it.

That would be awesome indeed :')

Oops, sorry - should have checked!

BTW I just realised you're also Mu:zines from the other (purple) place!

Keep up the good work!

No worries - and thanks!

I was also following this thread, thanks for posting this!!

I cannot believe it!!

Great News.....thanks to all involved

Here we are in July 2022!  Will my emagic MT4 still work on my new M1 Max MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.4?

It lights up when connected via USB, but doesn't show as connected from within Logic.  I had a feeling the device driver is missing in MacOS Midi Studio, so I downloaded the last Unitor Family driver for the MT4 and tried to reinstall, but got a message "you don't need this update".

Hey - Wow!  The MT4 is alive and still works.  There is a relatively new driver "v3" from March 11, 2022

It's amazing really.  This device must be 15 years old.

Yes, this is what is being discussed and linked to further up the page (posts from March 2022), the new Apple silicon driver for the old emagic interfaces.
