Hi all,
 I now have a problem ,  I am on win XP and would like to upgrade to win 7.  The problem is that I have a yamaha 01x control surface which has drivers up to win XP but no higher (discontinued).  If I upgrade to win 7 so I remain supported by Cakewalk and move up to X2 my yamaha control surface won't work.  I called yamaha, no help there. I also  searched the net for drivers and none were found.  I don't have the money to replace my control surface, so It looks like I'm stuck.

I know that there are others here on this forum that also has a yamaha 01x, have you found a workaround?  Anybody, somebody Please Help.

Thank you,
mpop

TBH pal, it looks like you'll have to upgrade your hardware to keep up with the jones's, but thats up to you to do when ever, all the best !!

cakewalk arent supporting xp anymore, neither is microsoft !!

As far as I've found out the last drivers ver 1.63 I think.  Will work with Windows 7 32 bit only. 64 bit is a complete no go.
I did try with a spare drive and that seems to be the case. but it was only a quick try and I haven't pursued on x1. So I now have the same problem as you. and not really sure what to do, already downloaded x2 so must decide soon.

you can still use it as a control surface via the midi ports if you wanted ? it sends / gets midi CC's etc?  and just get a new sound card..

as for xp.. it's stops being supported june 2014 IRC. it's a bit long in the tooth now, so I'd just put that surface on ebay etc.. get new stuff. or you can still use it for live stuff etc?

Thanks royarn 
If you got it to work with win 7 even at 32 bit that would work..  I will try your suggestion and use a spare drive, load win 7 then x1 then mLan driver cross fingers eyes toes and whatever else.. I will post results this weekend.

once again thanks,
mpop

Best buy new hardware with your new operating system. Windows 8 out next week.

Just doing the same again mpop, remember to save your graphic patch bay settings somewhere safe. thats if like me you have more than 1 mLAN piece of kit. good luck to us both.

Yes it works fine with mLAN, I've been at it all day, what with downloading and installing windows 7, and X2, not had time to experiment much with X2 other than making sure everything is working with my  hardware, tomorrow is playtime.
