Re: More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

I've been using this CME MIDI interface and it's been fine - none of the weirdness I've encountered with the Fastlane. It was a little under $50. As I remember, the Fastlane was around $75 when you could buy it new. The funny thing is that I really only need a 1 x 1 interface. These type all appear ...

Re: More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

Yes, I deleted it. It reappears and lights when I plug the Fastlane back in. Dims when I rescan. If I delete the dimmed icon, clicking on rescan does not make the icon reappear – only physically unplugging and reinserting the USB cable does that. I'm not opening a tech support ticket because I'm thr...

Re: More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

Not sure what this will tell you - I have quite a few MIDI devices in my current setup but as you can see, they're greyed out since they're unconnected. The Fastlane IS connected - and greyed out! Again, if I pull the cable out and reconnect it, the icon comes to life and things will work. "Res...

Re: More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

This is not uncommon if there's a USB hub in your setup somewhere It is unusual if the unit is connected directly via a USB 2 cable but not unheard of, unfortunately. It has nothing to do with the drivers or Ventura. No hub, it's a direct connection. Tried with both a USB-C to A cable, and an older...

Re: More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

Tried with a fresh setup in AMS, same result. The Fastlane is seen by the OS, the lights blink when I play my keyboard - but no MIDI is getting anywhere.

More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

Well this is a little weird. Once again I'm having connectivity issues between my Fastlane and my 15" MacBook Air, Ventura 13.6.6 MOTU MIDI 91217 (latest, reinstalled). Open AMS with Fastlane disconnected - there it is greyed out, as expected. Plug in the Fastlane; the icon lights up, as expect...

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

Thanks Mike, I will defiitely keep this in mind when I update my Air's internal to Sonoma, or whatever MacOS follows that. There's no pressing reason for me to do it now.

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

In fairness to MOTU, I have to jump back in here and say... YES IT'S ME. What I didn't mention at the top of this thread was that when I got the new 14" MacBook Pro with Sonoma, I migrated my user account and apps to it from a Time Machine backup I had - a backup of my MacBook Air with Ventura ...

Re: No MOTU MIDI timepiece in MIDI studio...

I got a reply from Matt on my ticket with MOTU regarding my Mac with Sonoma not seeing the Fastlane. Basically he told me to fully uninstall the driver, then reinstall. I guess he missed the part I included in my original text where I mentioned I was returning that Mac and going back to using my 15&...

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

Thanks Mike. For once I can say "it's not me!" :-)

I chimed in on that thread. I'm a little frustrated after spending hours troubleshooting. Looking at the CME U6 MIDI Pro interface right now.

Re: No MOTU MIDI timepiece in MIDI studio...

My saga with this is in another thread but you have confirmed that it's NOT ME!! Thanks. I had the exact same situation with my Fastlane - the driver is definitely installed, MacOS saw my Fastlane in the "System Report" of System Settings - it just didn't load the driver when my Fastlane w...

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

Just to tie a small bow here, I did file a support ticket with MOTU regarding my Fastlane not working in the latest Sonoma (14.2.1). However, my situation is a little odd - I bought this new M3 MacBook Pro last week when I thought my 15" MacBook Air was gone forever. I just found the Air - and ...

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

I just corrected the thread title and OP to say i have the latest SONOMA, not Ventura. Sorry for any confusion.

Re: New Mac, lastest Ventura, Fastlane is not seen

I saw that 30-minute warning. I definitely went to the setting within that time frame.

I'll try a deep dive into the security settings, maybe there were changes from Ventura to Sonoma. Boy is this frustrating,.

New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

I just got a brand new 14" MacBook Pro and updated to the latest version of Sonoma (14.2.1). I downloaded the latest MIDI driver - Mac v91217 - then followed the instructions in MOTU's tech note "Enabling MOTU drivers in macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later." The extension is not even sho...
