Emagic Mt4 Midi Interface Drivers
AMT8 RS232 Wiring When bought they discontinued the AMT8 MIDI interface but you can still find them second hand. They can be connected by USB or serial cable (serial cable has the advantage of longer cable runs) but beware, the serial cable required isn't a standard type cable and you wont be able to buy a ready made cable off the shelf.
Perhaps the easiest way to make your own is to buy a Null Modem cable, cut one end off and rewire the end you cut off so that it corresponds with this diagram: Pin numbers are normally embossed into the plastic next to the pins; you may need a magnifying glass to see them.
Emagic Mt4 Midi Driver for Windows 7 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 10, 8, XP. A4Tech Compatible USB Port Mouse, Corrupted By Emagic Mt4 Midi. Apr 27, 2007 - Yes, though the drivers may not specifically say Windows XP. The latest drivers on the Emagic website (www.emagic.de) are XP compatable,.
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.).
