#Usb midisport 2x2 driver windows 7 zip file#

I finally downloaded the driver zip file from the Midiman site to a floppy, then read the installation instructions. Installing the drivers under Windows XP was a very big pain. Also, the unit supports two midi in/outs and midi thru. It has a very robust, light lime green midi box which will look cool around anyone's computer. Then it has lights that flash to tell you that your transmitting midi information from your keyboard. It has a slow pulsing light to tell you that its configured for USB correctly. I need midi inputs that were USB powered, because my sound card ( Echo Mona) had no midi inputs. I paid $71 including tax at Guitar Center. Great midi product, which is usually the case with M-Audio, one of the leading midi device companies out there. That just shows how durable and lasting the technical design of this simple unit is. My version is fairly old (still says Midiman), but the newer devices are nearly identical, they just have a different color design. Overall, the Midisport 2x2 is a simple device that does it's job, and has lasted me for many, many years. There is a midi thru switch on the device that, if accidentally pressed, will disable some of the midi data transfer to the computer. There is no lag or latency that needs to be compensated, and the lights on the Midisport easily let me know when it's sending and receiving data.

#Usb midisport 2x2 driver windows 7 install#

With Windows 7 and Vista, the drivers may be easier to install than with my Windows XP system.įunctionally, I've had no problems or glitches with this midi interface. Initially, I thought it was repeating itself (and thus something was wrong) and I aborted the second installation. Also, installing the drivers can be confusing, because there are two sets of drivers that need to load when you plug the Midisport 2x2 into the computer.

It sits on the floor under my desk, and I never need to touch any controls on it.įor the most part, the device does is not plug and play, as it usually requires downloading the correct drivers from M-Audio's driver website.

For my studio, I simply need one midi input from my larger keyboard midi controller, and this small box fits the bill perfectly. It is one of the smallest box-style midi interfaces available, and is suitable for most basic midi needs, where only one or two midi devices are being used. The M-Audio (Formerly Midiman) Midisport 2x2 is a usb-midi interface with two sets of midi inputs and midi outputs.
