The Mac OS X Audio/MIDI Setup utility is responsible for all Audio and MIDI data coming to and from your Mac, which makes it a valuable troubleshooting tool. The MIDI Setup in particular can come in handy if you begin to experience limited or no response from your MIDI device or if the device is not recognized at all. This guide will demonstrate how to create a new configuration to refresh.

Record audio with Soundflower on Mac. It’s free and open source. I use this as an alternative to Loopback, which is great but has a limitation to record only 20 minutes in the free version. But you can also buy it but it was to expensive in my opinion. To record audio we also use Quicktime player in this tutorial.

  1. Audio Midi Setup, free audio midi setup freeware software downloads. This is a collection of device images for the Audio/MIDI set-up application featured in Mac.
  2. If your MIDI devices don't work properly after an update or migration. Often, after an update or migration, you will need to 'refresh' certain MIDI devices. This is done quickly and easily in your Mac's Audio MIDI Setup. On your Mac, navigate to UtilitiesAudio MIDI Setup; Go to WindowShow MIDI Studio; Make sure your MIDI device is unplugged.

Due to the updated security architecture introduced since macOS 10.13 High Sierra, the system extensions for all newly-installed third-party software will automatically be blocked from running. If your MOTU interface is not showing up in Audio MIDI Setup, MOTU Audio Setup, MOTU Discovery, or your DAW on High Sierra or later, you might need to enable the driver in your System Preferences.

To enable the MOTU drivers, follow these steps:

Mac
  1. Download and install the very latest installer for your MOTU interface.
  2. After restarting, open System Preferences.
  3. Select Security & Privacy.
  4. In the General section, click the Allow button.

Notes

Audio Midi Setup Download Mac Os

  • The Allow button will disappear 30 minutes after installation. To display the Allow button, run the installer for the MOTU driver again.
  • This behavior will only occur when installing a MOTU driver for the first time on macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later. If you have already installed the driver on an earlier version of macOS and upgraded to macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later, you should not need to enable the driver.
  • This issue is not specific to MOTU. It is a general change introduced in macOS 10.13 High Sierra, and will affect any third-party (i.e. non-Apple) kernel extensions.
