Emagic AMT 8

The Emagic MIDI interfaces were no longer sold before the first Intel Mac came to the market. But Logic Pro 7.2 nevertheless contains intel drivers for them. I haven't seem them anywere else, but somebody said they are also in a custom install of GarageBand.

I use both the Unitor and the AMT8 with a Macbook Pro, and it's always worked fine. Could there be a firmware issue somewhere?

Does it work at all?... do you see any lights when you play your controller? I have the same one (amt8) and it works with the MacBook pro and Logic7 You could try to rescan it under Applications>Utilities>Audio MIDI Setup>MIDI Devices>Rescan MIDI... Or you can try Add Device on that same page. Give that a Shot...good luck

For what it's worth, I have the Mac Pro 3.0 tower, an emagic Unitor and
4 AMT 8's. They work fine with the driver from Apple. Firmware version
in the Unitor is 2.0.2, in the AMT's 2.0.4. Perhaps you need to update?
In the Audio MIDI Setup it shows one giant Unitor with 40 ports. I think I
had to enter some ports by hand. Have you run Unitor8 control? All the
boxes show up in that.
Good luck...

The firmware in the Unitor 8 has nothing to do with the driver. Only the very first Unitor 8 (I think ones that only had a serial port, no USB) had a different firmware. No, in this case the correct driver is missing. Connect the Unitor 8, AMT8 or MT4 and launch Audio MIDI Setup to see if the interface is recognized.

It may sound silly, but try changing USB cables. Recently I've found several
instances of gear that won't work with one cable but will with another, both
USB and firewire. Also some things won't work on USB hubs, even if the hubs
are powered. Even my ipod doesn't sync properly when it's hooked into a hub,
it has to go directly into the machine. I've tossed two firewire cables and a USB
hub in the last two days. I think the gear is getting more demanding. Or the
older stuff just isn't clean enough.
