I know this has been addressed many times before, but none of the threads I could find solved my problem for me. I just got a used Ultra and am I trying to get it working on my mac. Sadness.
I'm looking to see if anyone has any advice on getting Axe Edit 1.0.191 for the Mac to recognize the Ultra. Here are the details, and what I've tried:
Thanks for any advice
I'm looking to see if anyone has any advice on getting Axe Edit 1.0.191 for the Mac to recognize the Ultra. Here are the details, and what I've tried:
- Relevant Details:
- Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.5
- MacBook Pro 15 Inch Late 2013
- PreSonus Studio 24 (not 24c)
- Axe Fx Ultra FW 11.00 May 8 2011
- SysEx ID 00 01 74
- Latest PreSonus drivers installed
- Wiring
- Mac <-> PreSonus via USB
- PreSonus -> MIDI OUT -> Ultra MIDI IN
- Ultra -> MIDI OUT -> PreSonus MIDI IN
- Observations:
- The MIDI IN light on the Ultra flashes sporadically. If I disconnect the MIDI IN from the Ultra, the flashing stops.
- When I hit "Test Connection" in Axe Edit there is no update at all to the UI (just stays at "Status: Not Connected..."). If I run the loopback test and then hit "Test Connection" it goes through a few hoops in the UI before saying "Status: Not Connected...".
- The Ultra itself appears to be fine ... I've played with it for a few hours, going through the presets and it sounds as good as I hoped.
- The MIDI light used to blink (it might have been the 'out' light but I can't remember) on the Axe Edit, but it's not now.
- What I've tried:
- Axe Edit 1.0.183 -- Same issue
- Axe Edit 1.0.188 -- Same issue
- Another Mac running High Sierra -- Same issue
- MIDI Loopback test with both cables using the Axe Edit loopback test feature -- loopback passes on my PreSonus Studio 24
- MIDI Loopback (hack) test with both cables on the Ultra -- passed -- this hack was found in Yeks How Tos (I can't post the link due to the rules)
- Turning it off an on again. The Ultra, no joy. The Mac, no joy. The MIDI interface, no joy.
- Uninstalling and Installing again. No joy on any of the described versions.
Thanks for any advice
