M-Audio USB-MIDI / WIN-7 64 Bit Drivers?

anyone have a work around for MIDI drivers? it appears M-Audio may or may not support USB on MIDI sport and UNO for Windows 7 64-bit .
there must be alternate driver somewhere on the net??? (have'nt found it yet)
 
Zap! 

hey LL;
i'll bet you and Bitflipper could, i mean ASIO4all did it for audio; now's the time for MIDI4all.....

I got rid of my M-Audio Midisport 4x4 because they have no plans to release 64 bit driver for it.  It was also my last M-Audio product.

just read on M-Audio site that 64-bit USB drivers for Windows-7 are on the way..........
they just have'nt an exact release date hmmmm......
Zap!

Seems like they said something similar for Vista 64bit, way back when... and then 3 years passed.

My workaround:
MOTU
Edirol/Cakewalk

My workaround for drivers is that I've made a trash pile because I don't want the frustration. It's really cheaper for me to replace than to waste my time. Saves on the nerves too. ( of course I understand that some can't throw 2 grand worth of equipment in a trash pile) My deal is that it's a pile of junk now not worth selling...at least I don't want my name attached to it now. 

E-MU 1820- Line6 UX2 - M-Audio Axiom 61- Roland GI-20 ....pretty good trash pile. Line6 does have a driver that seems to work for some...but crashed my PC and found out that all my customer information has been deleted from their site! Purchase history, registered equipment...the only thing left is my e-mail and name...what a fantastic company. But I found out while I was there I wasn't alone. Not worth my time..bye Line6.

If I didn't need the Cakewalk UA 101 that replaced the 1820 I'd trash it. It sucks. I'm certain it will be in the trash pile very soon. ( my advice...don't use a USB audio interface)

Sorry for the long post but I figured it would make you feel better LOL.

And hey...I'm happy. Win7 64bit is great and I can record again on a better set-up...with a Cakewalk audio interface being the weakest link....for awhile.


Alright...driver for GI-20 today so one less in the trash pile.

I just tried the Beta drivers with my Midisport 4x4 (non-Anniversary) and Midisport 8x8s, and they appear to work in Windows 7 64-bit with Sonar 6PE 64-bit.  I'm not sure how accurate of a test it was, because when I exited Sonar, the MIDI port setup was dumped by Sonar, but if I remember correctly this was a problem with Sonar 6.  If someone else could test the drivers with a later version of Sonar on Win 7 64-bit, that would be great.  It looks promising so far, though.

Thanks for the update leapinlizard. I'm glad to have the beta driver, but frustrated that I just replaced the midisport last month. Oh well.

Yep, thanks to M-Audio sitting on their collective butts for so long, these drivers are going to be too little/too late for a lot of people like yourself.  Lack of M-Audio drivers has hindered me from going from 32-bit to 64-bit, and so now I get to reinstall and bring both my systems into the 64-bit realm.  But, I will probably wait until they release the final versions of the drivers to do it, just to be safe.
 
Like Genghis said, though, maybe this will help boost the price of old Midisports a little.  At least anyone who has hung onto their Midisport can now use it, and people looking for MIDI interfaces can pick up one of the used M-Audio products out there and know that it will work (for now).

i downloaded the 64bit beta the day it came out for my midisport 4x4 and made the jump to win7 64 and sonar8.5.3 64 and the drivers work like a charm, better than the vista 32 bit drivers.  maudio did wait way too long to release, but at least they do work now.  I should have bought a 8x8 a month ago when people were giving them away.

no, it does not show up in safely remove hardware, i checked after your question.  I never unplug it so I dont know what may happen if I did.  Sorry I couldnt be of more help on the subject matter. G.
