MOTU’s Vista beta drivers will cover the full MOTU audio range, including FireWire, PCI, and USB audio alike, and perennial favorites like the UltraLite and 828mkII.

That means you’ll want to use Vista drivers if at all possible. However, some drivers may not work at all or may suffer degraded performance, because of a whole range of issues. I’m guessing the Vista Ultimate box featured on MOTU’s site is a hint no Vista Home Basic around here, thank you.Īs some readers reported, some existing XP drivers will run in the 32-bit release of Windows Vista. Windows Vista drivers now shipping as a public beta (These drivers also feature enhancements for all versions of XP, so all Windows users, have at them) Good job, RME and MOTU - and with weeks to spare before consumers get the OS.

(Read through comments for some specifics, including how Vista compares to Mac OS X and BeOS.

MOTU WDM/GSIF drivers are now shipping with all MOTU MIDI and audio interfaces.And we’re off to the races. "We view MOTU audio interfaces like the 2408mkII as one of the highest-quality, most cost-effective audio I/O solutions for Giga users." "MOTU's Version 2 GSIF driver provides excellent, extremely low-latency performance with all GigaStudio products," commented Jeff Klopmeyer, Tascam's Marketing Director, in reference to their recent acquisition of Nemesys and the entire GigaStudio line of PC-based sampling products. "MOTU and Cakewalk have worked closely together to bring FireWire audio to Windows 2000 under WDM, and we're thrilled with the performance and convenience that the MOTU 828 provides SONAR users," commented Greg Henderschott, Cakewalk's President/CEO.

MOTU's 828 FireWire audio interface connects to any FireWire-equipped Windows 2000 or Windows Me PC and provides low-latency, plug-and-play 24-bit audio I/O for any WDM-compatible audio application, such as Cakewalk's SONAR software. Each MIDI port provides 16 unique MIDI channels.

Windows Me and Windows XP eliminate this barrier, giving parallel MIDI Timepiece-AV users 16 MIDI input/output ports (via two networked AV's) or dozens of MIDI input/output ports via as many MOTU USB interfaces (any model) as their system can handle via a standard USB hub. MIDI applications can access up to 10 MIDI input/output ports under Windows 98SE and Windows 2000, the maximum number of MIDI ports allowed by these two platforms. MOTU's USB MIDI and PCI-324 audio WDM drivers also provide "Wave" driver support for Windows 98SE and Windows Me, providing backward compatibility for users who have not yet upgraded to Windows 2000.

We're already testing our WDM drivers with Windows XP and we expect to post them on our web site the very day that Windows XP ships." "And MOTU is still the first and only company to ship comprehensive WDM support for USB, Parallel, FireWire and PCI. "MOTU is first to bring WDM FireWire audio to Windows 2000 with our 828 audio interface," said Jim Cooper, MOTU Marketing Director. MOTU's new drivers support all of the following I/O formats: This "across the board" release also paves the way for Windows XP compatibility when it ships later this year. We have just posted Windows 2000 WDM drivers for all our MIDI and audio interfaces. Windows 2000 WDM "XP-ready" Drivers for all MOTU MIDI and Audio Interfaces
