The drivers for Mac OS X are found on the Driver CD which comes with the product.
You may also wish to check the MIDISPORT drivers page of our website to make sure
you have the most recent version. The driver is labeled “MIDISPORT.” The OSX Installer
Package icon looks like ‘a cube of Jello, rising out of a cardboard box and normally

To install the OSX driver:
1. Double-click on the installer package.
2. When prompted, enter your administrator password you chose when you installed
OSX.

Your MIDISPORT is ready for use. You can verify successful installation by going to the
“Go” pull-down menu, Applications, Utilities, Audio/MIDI Setup, and clicking on the
MIDI tab. Refer to the sections “Setting Up Your MIDI Studio” and “Using the MIDISPORT
in your Application Software” for more information.
Hardware Installation
Installing your MIDISPORT involves simply attaching it to one of your computer’s USB
ports (or a USB hub) using the standard USB cable included. We recommend that you
power down (turn off) your computer when attaching your MIDISPORT for the first time.
Also prior to installation, you may want to verify that your computer’s USB port is
enabled (check your computer’s users guide). If not, your computer will not recognize
the MIDISPORT when it is plugged in.
Find a good spot around your computer station to place the MIDISPORT. The USB port
on your computer is a small (1/8" x 3/8"), rectangular female connector and is usually
found in a group of two. Take the male end of the USB cable that matches the size of
