    HI Guys

    I am getting back into producing music and have set back up my studio. I have bought an iMac 27" with maschine. I always used an M Audio Radium 61 midi controller but since setting up this new studio the radium will not work with the OS of the mac.

    I was just wondering if anyone had experienced this or anything like this or if anyone had a driver I could download for the radium 61?

    I have read online that M Audio are not making the updated driver for the controller but there must be a walk around or some tip that might help, other wise I will have to fork out for a new controller.

    thanks in advance for any help

    Hey Mordeith

    Yeah I tried that alright with no success, at this point I have narrowed it down to a few questions. I have tried contacting M-audio on the forums and directly but you have to register for a pass code and I am nearly two weeks waiting for them to email that on purely to ask them some questions.

    I do have one question, I have the keyboard powered just with the USB. There is a connection for a 9V plug which I have never used previously and I am wondering if this could be an issue. Would the keyboard need its power connection and then the usb lead purely for midi data.

    I never used the power lead before and only the midi cable set up on a pc and I am wondering if maybe with a MAC you need the power and USB?

    It's very possible. I have an Oxygen 8 and an Akai MPK mini. Both run off USB alone but they are much smaller controllers than yours
