Mac
When you first plug the VAX77 into the USB port on a Mac,
the appropriate drivers are automatically loaded. There is no
need for special drivers. If you would like to see if the VAX77
was recognized, go to Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities
folder inside the Applications folder. The VAX77 should be
there with four sets of input/output ports number 1-4. The
first set refers to MIDI channels 1-16, the second, MIDI
channels 17-32, and so on. If the VAX77 is currently
connected to the USB port, click on the VAX77 icon and
there should be a check mark beside “Device is online”.
If the VAX77 is not listed, please call Infinite Response
customer service for assistance.
With most applications, including Logic, MainStage and
Garage Band, you can attach and remove the VAX77 at will

MIDI input device is no longer attached, but you can re-
attach and continue playing without incident.
PC
When you first plug the VAX77 into a USB port on a PC (XP
SP2, Vista, Win7) the “Found new hardware” message is
displayed and the PC will automatically load the standard
windows audio driver (WDM). In Device Manger, the VAX77
is listed under “Sound, Video, and Game controllers”. There
