Despite the Power PC version being incorrectly identified by Finder as a Pro Tools plug-in, notice how the 'Kind' value clearly shows what architecture a driver supports. Here you can see the Get Info windows of the Power PC and Universal Binary versions of the Emagic USB MIDI driver for the AMT8, MT4 and Unitor 8 interfaces. The MIDI interface in question was an old Emagic AMT8 and the Power Mac had been happily running with another AMT8 for some time without any issues. The Mac Pro was running Pro Tools and the goal was to slave this system via MIDI Timecode (MTC), using the newly attached interface, from a Power Mac running Logic Pro. This month, I helped out a friend who was having difficulties getting a MIDI interface to work with a Mac Pro. But what happens when your sequencer (or other MIDI application) doesn't recognise the interface? Getting The Right Driver

In fact, with some simple MIDI interfaces you might not even have to install software, thanks to Core MIDI's built-in support for USB-class MIDI devices. When you want to attach a new MIDI interface to your Mac, it's usually a question of installing the appropriate software and plugging in the interface. This is the scheme that deals with how your MIDI interfaces communicate with the computer, and how the applications running on your computer communicate with the attached MIDI interfaces.

These days, working with MIDI on a Mac is much simpler, thanks to one of Apple's many Core frameworks in Mac OS X, Core MIDI. (Come to think of it, how many years has it been since we mentioned OMS in Apple Notes?)
Over the years there have been many ways to work with MIDI interfaces on a Mac - from simple devices that plugged into the Mac's now-defunct serial ports, to more advanced multi-port models requiring the user to tame the now-even-more-defunct OMS, the late Opcode's MIDI equivalent of a middle manager. Installing a MIDI interface to work with your Mac should be an easy task, but what happens if it doesn't want to play ball? Apple Notes is here to help.
