OSX Yosemite & USB MIDI: any known issues? - RESOLVED

Post by JazzGuitarGimp »

Hi Everyone,

I posted this on the VGuitar forum, but so far, no takers. So I'm hoping someone here may have some insight on this. I upgraded to OSX 10.10 Yosemite about a month ago. Today, i tried to run Floorboard patch editor for the Roland GR-55 Guitar Synth, but no go. There is no USB MIDI communication between my 2009 Mac Mini and the GR-55. Has anyone here seen a loss of MIDI after updating to Yosemite?

Many thanks,
Lou

Lou, I think there was an update this week.
I read too many reports of midi trouble to risk Yosemite yet.

Lou,
As Tony mentioned, there is an update to 10.10.2 available now. I would install that and see what happens. I have a 2009 Mini and just installed Yosemite (I was using Snow Leopard). Everything is working fine for me although I don't use midi. There were some bugs with Wifi, bluetooth and a few other things that are supposedly fixed.

If the update doesn't do it for you, maybe uninstall the Roland stuff for the midi that you use and reinstall it.
What?

Thank you Tony & Jana,

With a little poking around on the Roland website, I discovered the Yosemite USB Driver for the GR-55. I installed it and I'm happy to report I'm back in business!
