Motu Midi Express USB XT & Windows 8?

2013/10/31 23:08:49

Prob a long shot but does anyone here use this combination? BTW... I think I hate Windows 8 thus far! Just don't like the idea of wasting over $100 plus paying to go down to Windows 7

I am still on win 7 however the MOTU site shows a driver that is for both win 7 and win 8 here..

I use it - and it works fine. I just check the MOTU site every once in a while for the latest drivers (I don't even remember if they're technically for Win 8 or not) - but it works fine.

PS - Win 8.1 pro 64 bit, and SONAR X3b (soon to be X3c) 64 bit - is my setup.

Thank you both! I got them just researching the best install process. Have be really careful with windows 8. Everything will not work properly in it.

I can not figure out how to launch Clockworks. I see it in my programs but can not figure out how to launch it to set up my interface. More so trying to be certain everything installed correctly. Unsure

I've never even used it. Just use the buttons on the front for your "mode" and that's about it...

There should be an icon when you click on your START button.

Or you could use Windows Explorer and find the directory where the MOTU stuff is installed...and double click the ClockWorks exe file

Thanks I found it. Unfortunately only the only ports that show in the Midi Input are the FW ports & the 828MKII port. The Midi Express does not show. And under device "None". I'm guessing it isn't installed properly. Back to drawing board.

I have the top one (I don't see a difference between the two - except for the colour). I never used Clockworks - I just installed the drivers and windows devices sees them under USB devices - and SONAR sees them.

I've been using this for years...
