unreliable MPD16...Need Help with USB.
Driver will work some times, and no work many times, been having this problem the first time loaded in my MBP Intel C2D 2.66 OSX10.6 till now 10.6.8 every update with the hope ill be back to normal, I have uninstall and reinstall every single driver version find online, new and old, Japanese included, I only get some love when I play a bit with voltage via powered USB hub, or changing USB Ports, but still unreliable.
The MPD midi driver gets duplicated in the OS X Audio Midi Setup Window, when I Change/Swap the usb ports, it make a copy of the driver for each usb port I have including the HUB. I can only get it to work after around the 10 attempt, one that works must times is to plug the MPD before any USB Device, but the driver drops out sometimes.
This are other USB Audio/Midi Drivers install on my system:
SaffirePRO40, NI Audio8 DJ, recently uninstalled Serato Drivers to start a search for driver conflict, also have FTDIDrivers install in my system,
can this be the conflict? anyway I have also try without the FTDIDriver and unless they leave stuff in your system after uninstall, this didn't fix the problem,
I use the USB connection to power up the mpd or 9V DC Negative Center, and use the standard midi out port, all good like this, I have opened the MPD16 to look inside for lose contact in the usb port and is like new, here is the serial number of mine 40205-00140 made in Taiwan. MPD16 need Help as the new versions don't like and will love to load/save her Midimap via USB...
Gurus! any nfo on things you have done to keep your AKAI MPD16 working with new computers, will be most appreciated.
