Hi.
I've just updated my Mac Pro (Intel) to MacOS 13.5.1. It didn't like my old MOTU MIDI extensions, so I downloaded the latest MIDI Installer that I could find on MOTU's site that says it's compatible with 10.13, but the Installer won't work. Says it's not compatible.
Anyone know how to get it to work? The Installer package I have is Installer 1.6 (73220)

Re: MIDI Installer not working in Mac OS 13.5
I should clarify that I downloaded the installer for the MIDI Timepiece AV which is that old installer. I do see there are other more recent installers for other devices like an Express128. Should I just install that one?

Re: MIDI Installer not working in Mac OS 13.5
The MTP AV USB is long discontinued so MOTU does not list the current drivers that work. It is a Support issue.
This is what you want:

Yup, that's what I did. I found the installer you mentioned for the MIDI Express128 and used that one and it worked.
Updating OSes is suuuuuuch a painful task. I do it as infrequently as possible, but at 10.15.7, I was just falling too far behind. So, I made the big leap up to the current version 13.5.1......scaaaaary......but it seems to be going ok. I've been able to work through everything that's come up so far.
