All is running fine!

That is great news.

Does CueMix Console work properly also?

What DAW software are you running with it? Is that software also running OK?

Thanks,

Dave

Now that I have installed Leopard on one of my machines I also find that my UltraLite works fine.

I only wish that I could say the same for the two M-Audio MidiSport 2X2 USB MIDI interfaces that I have. They don't work at all with Leopard on my computer. And I can't find any information on their web site about Leopard compatibility with their products of any kind.

I found this...

Well, their right, at least about the MidiSport 2X2 MIDI interface, it does not even start up in Leopard.

Luckily, my UltraLite's MIDI ports are working fine. Also, my Behringer BCF2000 Fader controller is working great connected via USB with Leopard. I used to connect the BCF2000 via the standard MIDI ports on the UltraLite which required me to have another MIDI interface for my keyboard. Now that the BCF2000 is working correctly via USB that leaves my UltraLite MIDI ports free so I don't need the MidiSport units at this point anyway.

It is possible that the UltraLite drivers may not be as well tuned for Leopard as they were for 10.4.10 since I am seeing somewhat higher CPU demands under Leopard in both Cubase 4.1 and Logic 8 under Leopard then I did before. I realize that this may be related to Leopard itself and/or inefficiencies in Cubase 4.1 and Logic 8, however, I have seen on several other forums that some folks are reporting much lower CPU demands with Leopard when using Logic 8 using the same hardware and software I'm using except for the audio interface and its drivers.

I am sure that now MOTU has a copy of the final Leopard update package like the rest of us they will do a great job fine-tuning their drivers for Leopard if that is necessary. Their drivers for 10.4.10 were nothing short of great!

Have a great weekend everyone,

I think it should also be mentioned at this point that after trying out the latest drivers with Leopard, my Ultralite is working just fine along with my Uno MIDI interface.. So, at least I can still use my Ultra... and MIDI!

Which cannot be said of other Audio interfaces I have such as the IO 26 which is a complete disaster as far as Leopard is concerned, even after using the newest Beta versions of Alesis's drivers. Not that it was much better under previous OS versions but at least it did work some of the time. Now, the unit can no longer handle any MIDI input/output whatsoever and the audio side is constantly crashing or breaking up into a nasty distorted mess. I know they are Beta drivers but one would think that basic MIDI IO along with fairly stable Audio IO would be something one should expect.. Beta or not...

As an aside, Alesis are claiming that between the last version of Leopard that Apple gave them to test and the Final released version, Apple did make some changes to CA which in turn, totally broke the drivers they had originally intended to relase for Leopard this week.. so if that is the case... then this would confirm the explaination given about some issues Motu are having with certain interfaces too.

So, anyhow.. it would seem to me at least, that Motu are way ahead of the game in terms of drivers even at this early stage and I am sure that 'tweaked' drivers for use with Leopard, are not far off..

I had problems running UltraLite under Leopard. But after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and removing three pref. files manualy, everything is running.
