It would seem M-Audio is trying to use this to sell more hardware. A quick check of their site shows they have beta drivers for W7. Any experience with MOTU? I have sent them an e-mail to see if they will be offering support in the future; I'll have to wait and see what their response is, but if it's anything like other requests in the past then I'm not too optimistic.
I'm actually surprised so many MIDI adapter vendors don't claim Windows 7 support for their devices; it uses basically the same driver architecture as Vista and thus should not be big challenge.
Cakewalk has drivers for Windows 7 x I haven't tried one yet but will probably buy one soon. Click to expand In regards to Windows 7. We currently do not have any specific drivers or support for Windows 7 and E-MU products at this time. Our preliminary testing is showing that our Vista drivers are working well in the final version of Windows 7.
We will be monitoring the release of Windows 7 to collect info and data, and we will then evaluate if anything must be done in regards to E-MU providing a special Windows 7 driver for our products.

I am using Win7 mostly now, I only have 1 laptop left on XP so the ol midisport isnt entirely useless. Win 7 Drivers released for Midisport 2x2 -4x4 anniversary editions. No Win 7 drivers, though. VidarAus Experienced. Hi, I own the Midisport 2x2 and use Windows 7 64bit and have been completley unable to get it to work. I spent hours searching around forums e. The worrying thing is that M-audio began work on the Vista 64bit drivers almost 3 years ago!!
This effectivly makes this device a brick for me now. On the graph linked to above, they have not even started work on the drivers yet. M-audio has really dropped the ball here - how hard can it be to write some drivers??
Once I increased the delay time to ms I was able to update firmware on the axe, and it works perfectly with the editor. Infact, it is working better than the midisport did although this could very well be due to using the new version of windows. Plenty of sellers are selling similar looking items and I would bet they are all the same design. Requires no drivers, just plug and play. I have been using it for updating the Axe and for home recording.
I am selling it to upgrade to something with more inputs to record my band. Lkdog said:. Boogieman- Thanks for the info. I am wondering if the M-audio soundcard beta drivers installed the MIDI drivers specific to the since it has that capability even though you are not using the MIDI adapter on it.
In any event-you have it working in WIN 7 X Thanks for the update. Is there anything else that has better driver support and has a known history for good compatibility? I just don't want to go with something that may not have support later on. GuitarDojo Moderator Moderator. Since that is the only one that has a chance of getting drivers over the original. My midisport 2x2 didn't work in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 but it looks like it installed perfectly with the Vista SP2 bit drivers under Windows 7 x We'll see how it works.
You can even customize the look and feel of the app to your liking. In addition to MIDI controller input, the app supports multitouch screen, keyboard, and mouse inputs.
Download: Microsoft Store. With GarageBand, Apple made music production accessible to even the greenest of beginners. With the included samples and loops, anyone could combine them in their own unique ways, and create their own beats. Turns out GarageBand is so much more than just a beginner DAW, or at the very least, it has evolved into more. It is streamlined and easy to use, to be sure, but in addition to messing around with loops and samples, or recording MIDI tracks, you can also record audio tracks, mix and master, and even publish your projects!
We also like the built-in virtual instruments like piano, organ, synth, and more. These all sound surprisingly good and are capable even for professional projects. GarageBand is usable on all Apple devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. It is not compatible with Windows or any other platform, though there are some free GarageBand alternatives for Windows PC that are worth a look some of these work with other OS platforms too. And if you own an Apple device, it might be installed on it already!
Download: Apple. The interface is simple and attractive. It creates a nice distraction-free environment where you can practice and work on your piano skills. Additionally, you might be inclined to play with piano, synth, strings, or other virtual instruments. The easiest way to do this is with a proper host, like Waveform Free. It just so happens that Waveform also has an amazing synth called 4OSC built right into it.
It might not look like much from the outside, but it can produce a lot of different classic synth sounds, making it highly versatile. Waveform also comes with an FM synth, sampler, and micro drum sampler. Not a huge selection of tools, but still handy. And there are an insane number of presets for grooves and chords, not to mention the ability to transpose and quantize on the fly.
All you need is a bit of a theory background, a willingness to Google ideas, or a spirit of experimentation to come up with effective progressions your listeners will be mesmerized by. You can basically do all your MIDI editing work inside Waveform, and you can even import your other saved MIDI tracks and load up your favorite virtual instruments inside.
