Emagic Mt4 Midi Interface Drivers
Hi All, I'm contemplating jumping off into the deep dark unknown and setting up a partition with Snow Leopard and boot camp with the idea of loading Windows 7 on it along with some music software. Does anyone by any long shot of a chance know if there is any way to get my Emagic MT 4 MIDI interface working in this environment. It's working fine on my current Mac Pro tower with OS 10.5.8. But I suspect that a Snow Leopard start up drive with Boot Camp and Windows 7 will require some sort of drivers for this. Any ideas, tips, head's up, words of warning, cautionary tales, etc with regards to running boot camp and Windows 7 with PC music software in general is welcome.
PS: No, I am by no means abandoning Logic (far from it!). This is just for a specific project.
I ran Logic 5.51 under Windows XP, and used a Unitor8 with the XP USB drivers with no problems. The latest version (for Leopard 10.5.7) of the Unitor8 driver (Jan 2010, v 2.5) supports the Unitor8, the AMT8 and the MT4.
I don't use boot camp, but the drivers for XP that work for the Unitor should work for the MT4. That is, notwithstanding a less than 100% compatibility between Leopard and Apple's implementation of the 'boot camp' XP partition. The PC Unitor8 USB (and even the serial version) drivers used to be downloadable: not sure if they still are on the Apple web site, but I do have them. I have not tried the Unitor PC drivers with either Vista or Windows 7. The PC version of Logic doesn't benefit from gobs of memory.
Found the MT4 PC driver. It needs to be 'unzipped' -- not sure if a decompress utility is a feature of Windows 7, but freeware Winzip or PKunzip programs will unzip it. There is a readme file that explains both the serial and USB install. The instructions for Win2000 work with WinXP -- but I have not tried it with either Vista or Windows 7. By the way, the AMT8 and Unitor8 interfaces have a more sophisticated buffer that works with Logic to provide a tighter sync than what you can get out of the MT4. More importantly, the Unitor8 will sync to LTC, which is much tighter than syncing to MIDI.

Few things last forever (especially web links.). If you have the Logic Pro 8.0 install disks, the Unitor/AMT8/MT4 Mac OSX drivers are on that. Apple also released a Unitor update for OSX in January 2010, but the file is in dmg format, so I can't upload it here. Get it from Apple while you can. The PC Unitor8/AMT8/MT4 zip file is attached. You need a free utility called PKunzip or Winzip to decompress it.
I used the driver with Unitor8s on PCs and XP SP3, but never inside an OSX XP compatibility window. Can't say if that will work or not.
Never used but does have some small knicks and scratches from being in storage. Works as it should, comes with the unit only. Emagic announces the MIDI Transmitter Four, MT4, USB MIDI interface for both Mac and Windows. This two in, four out USB-only MIDI interface addresses the need for a low cost USB interface solution. The release of the MT4 solidifies Emagic's complete cross-platform product line and further exemplifies Emagic's commitment to provide high quality solutions at every possible price point. Emagic's MT4 is a stand-alone two in, four out USB MIDI interface for both Mac and Windows 98. Powered by USB, the MT4 has a practical design, featuring compact size in a light-weight non-slip casing.
All inputs and outputs are independently addressable for a maximum of 32 channel inputs and 64 channel outputs. The MT4 has two MIDI In activity LEDs and four MIDI Out activity LEDs, and has a programmable Patch Mode that allows for stand-alone use as a MIDI patchbay. Using the included software, up to 32 patch configurations can be stored and are switchable via MIDI program change. Patch Mode is indicated by its own LED, as is USB activity.
The MT4 is directly supported in the Logic Audio Mac series and can also be addressed via OMS. On Windows it is addressed via USB MME drivers.
