LK-94tv does not work #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Buy Casio LK-94tv
2. Get a MacBook Pro running 10.6.6
3. Install casiousbmididriver

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see a device in Audio MIDI Setup.
Nothing new appears.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
LK-94tv
Snow Leopard 10.6.6

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried installed both the beta(r15) and the Snow leopard driver from Oct 2009.
I tried installing them in both the global Library and home dir Library 
locations. 
I tried rebooting.
Nothing would show up whether or not the keyboard was attached.

I ran across this thread 
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1198971 where you talked 
about creating this driver. A yamaha driver was also mentioned there.

Turns out the Yamaha driver works for me (GarageBand 09). I downloaded the 
latest version from http://www.global.yamaha.com/download/usb_midi/index.html

I briefly looked at your source code and the LK-94tv has the same Product and 
Vendor ID as your source code. With the Yamaha driver I see a MIDI device 
(defaults to MyProductName) even if my keyboard isn't plugged in. I don't see 
anything at all with the casiousbmididriver.

Not sure if the casiousbmididriver just isn't 10.6.6 compatible or it isn't 
compatible with the LK-94tv.

If you would like me to test anything out just let me know.

Some people noticed that while it didn't show up in the MIDI manager, it did 
work in GarageBand. I'm sorry I can't be more specific.

I didn't test the driver in a while, but now that I have a recent Macbook Pro 
and Leopard 10.6.6, I just need time to test it. I'll probably remake the 
package to address a few remaining installation issues. Stay tuned.

So the Yamaha one stopped working on me and I couldn't get it working again. I 
went back to trying CasioUSBMidiDriver.

CasioUSBMidiDriver still wasn't working for me but I was seeing these messages 
in my system.log
Mar 13 20:03:55 MacBook-Pro MIDIServer[402]: MIDIServer [402] starting; 
arch=x86_64
Mar 13 20:03:55 MacBook-Pro MIDIServer[402]: PlugIn CasioUSBMIDIDriver.plugin 
-- /Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/ does not contain a supported architecture.
Mar 13 20:03:55 MacBook-Pro MIDIServer[402]: MIDIServer relaunching because a 
32-bit driver was found
Mar 13 20:03:55 MacBook-Pro MIDIServer[402]: MIDIServer [402] starting; 
arch=i386

I checked out the subversion repo, opened up the 10.6 project and rebuild for 
"Deployment | x86_64". It seems to be working now. I've got an icon in the MIDI 
Setup window (it had some generic name) and now the MIDIServer doesn't try to 
restart in 32-bit mode.

Maybe there needs to be a 64-bit download?

The latest beta was supposed to be 32 and 64-bit compatible, but I never 
actually tried it myself since I didn't have a 64-bit compatible Intel Mac (Rev 
A Macbook Pro). There might be something wrong with the Universal build.

Thanks for the info.

Any chance you could give me a step-by-step on how you made this work.  I'm a 
mac novice, but very competent windows user.  I have a mac-mini running osx 
10.6.6, and a Casio LK-94TV.  I tried installing the Yamaha driver, but when I 
open it, the resulting file seems to still be compressed - um121mx.zip.cpgz.  
When I try opening it, I can see the archive utility run, but it closes before 
I see where the file is uncompressed to.

Many thanks,

I finally made a new release for this driver, including an installer package. 
It should work with both 32 and 64-bit MIDIServer setups. Here's the link:
