M2 MAX
64 GB
Ventura 13.4
Downloaded and installed MOTU MIDI software a couple of times, trashed prefs.
Shows up in the System Report, but Audio-MIDI setup just doesn't "see' it.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Stumped. I am using same interface on my M1 Max Mac Studio with no issues. You got past the security prompts from the OS to install the extensions required for the MOTU MIDI driver I assume?

Hi. I have an M2 Mini Pro and was having the same problem. I had to download the latest driver from Yamaha for my P250 piano and then connected my piano via USB.
It just about makes my MIDI Express dead in the water.
That’s how I fixed mine.
Good Luck!!

Yes, I have. M2 Studio, and NOTHING HAS FIXED THE USB CONNECTION TO THE XT!!! Reset extensions database, reinstalled drivers, plugged directly into Studio USB....zero....
Anyone else running a M2 Studio with a MIDI Express XT????

This topic really reminds me again about my frustration when people come back to a topic and say they got a problem resolved but forget to share the solution with the community.

Preach Brother James!
I feel exactly the same way mate. Sooo frustrating!
I haven't done the AS upgrade yet but run 2 of those units so this really matters to me.

I also have a MIDI Express and am considering the switch to AS.
I'm finding it odd the the OP returned to say that tech support had solved the problem, but then offered no explanation of the solution.
With just a few more keystrokes he/she could have provided insight to all of us.
Frustrating indeed!

I may take a look at their profile and see if I can't send a message or email asking them to come back here and share the solution with the rest of us. That's one of the
main reasons for the existence of this board!

Indeed brother!
Do it James, if you can find a spare moment.
We'll definitely appreciate it.

Fixed!!!!! Finally!!!
An old Roland .kext driver in the system was ••••ing things up….
If you are having problems I would suggest removing to the desktop all drivers, see if it fixes the prob, and reinstall until the booger shows up…
Mine was

That chopped off the midiexpress xt from the system…
Thanks to Travis at Motu!!!!

Let's hear it for Travis!
That offending .kxt was sent as an attachment to a text.
