Title: my original os9 midi device list
Post by: supernova777 on September 21, 2013, 06:14:31 PM
this is an old version of this information
please refer to http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?board=42.0
and select a sticky thread for the updated info

hello there
im trying to compile a master list of audio/midi interfaces & controllers supported by os9
this seems to be a vague thing and is somewhat faded into vagueness + obscurity by time.. and the  instantly adopted standard of osx + discardedness of os9..

evolution uc33-e (a notable great controller for use with ableton live in os9 as it features its controls mapped out similar to the session view with 1 fader + 3 rotaries per vertical "track" but of course you are free to assign whichever control to whichever element within ableton)

(it seems the edirol PCR Mseries was a revise of the original PCR series from 2007 and miraculously they developed os9 drivers.. probably the last ever midi controllers to feature drivers for mac os 9 from a proper manufacturer and not custom driver hacks)

if you have a pci capable mac, it may be compatible with this old yamaha sound card
THE YAMAHA SW1000XG wich is also a synthesizer which provides an oldschool serial midiport and is compatible with some macs and pcs..
see these pages:
http://www.megatrade.ru/English/Yamaha_Support.html
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/dec98/articles/yamsw1000.632.htm
http://www.computer-music.com/reviews/yamaha_sw1000xg.htm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iOHBZwSucI

yamaha sw1000xg Macintosh driver v1.04b6 provides ASIO 2.0 support, and support for multiprocessor Mac systems. This build also cures problems with system freezes when USB keyboards are attached. Supports G3/G4 series Macintosh machines and lower. Mac OS 9.0 only or higher (Mac OSX not supported in this release).

Mac driver v1.04b6 supports the Sawtooth G4 (And Dual processor models)along with the B&W G3 (plus support for older G3 machines) under Mac OS 9.0 (we do not support the driver under Mac OS 8.6). ASIO stability on the Blue & White G3 and G4 machines has been greatly improved. Full OMS support.
You will need to install latest version of Opcode OMS before these drivers.

Please note: If you having trouble un-stuffing this file, we strongly recommend that you download an up to date version of Stuff-It Expander 5.1.2 or higher from Aladdin Systems, which should solve your problems.
Title: Please add to list...

AWESOME LIST !!!

Don't forget to add the M-Audio Firewire Audiophile 2496 Audio Interface

http://www.zzounds.com/item--MDOFWAP2496

Works incredible under OS 9 (and includes MIDI) and is very low latency with OS 9 ASIO drivers

ive just noticed this article claims this mk461c isnt compatible with os9, but the m-audio site lists a driver..
somehow im more apt to believe soundonsound as m-audio can be error prone  ;D

is there a chance the Steinberg USB-2-MIDI is a modified Keyspan USA-49WLC USB 4-Port Serial Adapter?
