Dean Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Will a Midiman Midisport 2x2 Anniversary Edition work with Cakewalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The real question is does it have a midi driver supported by your OS. If so then yes any DAW will see it. But Windows needs to see it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 In Preferences it shows in input and output drivers. Is this what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The way you worded your question it implies that you were wondering that if you purchase one would it work! Sounds like it does if it shows in preferences. So not sure what the real question actually is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Even though it listed the Midiman Midisport 2x2 Anniversary Edition in "Devices" on the computer. It did not work. I went to their site and even though it said nothing for Windows 10 There was a choice of Win 64, Win 10 and it took me to another driver which when downloaded and installed worked! So it can be used for Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 John, in Cakewalk "Preferences" it gave a choice of selecting the Midisport as a device. But until I got the new driver it did not work. That's what I was referring to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio Gabriel Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Hi Dean, I have the midisport 2 x 2 since ages and it works without problems in win 10 and in Sonar (or Cbb) as well. I think you could try to download their drivers (MIDISPORT Windows Driver v6.1.3) which are old but working. Never had any problem.

I guess all new midi stuff is USB so we are stuck with vintage midi gear and the drivers are slowly fading away. I had the Roland A 880 patch bay.

msmcleod Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I've got both the MidiSport 2x2 and the MidiSport 8x8. I found the 8x8 is a bit flakey in Windows 10 and liable to blue screens... rock solid in Windows 7 though. Thankfully the only time I need to use it is when editing sounds on my hardware rack gear, so I'm happy to switch to Windows 7 for that. I now use the MidiTech midiface 8x8 / midiface 4x4 - they work fine in both Windows 10 & Windows 11. I did try out some cheaper interfaces, but they suffered from missing notes / sysex issues.

Traveler Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I've been using my MidiSport 8x8/s since it was released at the turn of the century. It's been my main interface throughout all of Microsoft's iterations (98, XP, Win7, Win8, Win10 and now Win11). I haven't had any of the reported issues, but the only problem I have is M-Audio no longer includes the driver for the SMPTE ports. I tried installing them from the original CD and Win7 drivers, but it won't install in the newer operating systems. So I use MOTU micro express for SMPTE. My MidiSport has been in operation for over 20 years and it unbelievably still works!.. kinda like NASA's Voyager probes. I was surprised when I hooked up my Osmose and it even handles poly aftertouch and MPE! I hope it lasts another 20 years, but I fear one of Microsoft's future updates will pull the plug on it.
