having trouble with a radium 49 key station

I have a M-audio radium 49 keystation and I can't use it with OSX Mavericks. I have my software fully updated. I have been all over difference chatrooms to see if I can get this fixed. I think it is problem with the OS and not the DAW I am using. I have an Axion 25 and it works perfectly with all my DAWs.


Is there are work around for 10.9.5?

Mac Pro, Other OS, early 2009 8 core 2.4Ghz Mavericks

If you are connecting your Radium to your Mac via a USB3 port.. try using a powered USB2 hub between your Radium and your Mac...


Once that is done or if you are already using USB2 ports directly into your Mac then...


Do the following...


First, shut down your Mac and unplug your Radium49 (Don't just unplug the Radium!)


Then.....

1) Go to Applications/UTILITY via Finder
2) Run the Audio-Midi setup app
3) Go to the MIDI WINDOW (in the top menu bar)
4) CREATE A NEW MIDI DEVICE, call it whatever name you want...
5) Click GENERAL MIDI on
6) Install the drivers found here : http://m-audio.com/index.php?do=suppo...
(These are the 10.8.5 drivers. But they seem to work with Mavericks 10.9.4/5 for some people. )
7) Restart your Mac (Important step!)
8) Connect the keyboard



Failing that, the problem you have is the the Radium49 is no longer officially supported by M-Audio drivers in newer OS X versions later than Mountain Lion.... because it is now considered an "end of line' product by M-Audio, which means there will not be any new drivers released for it by M-Audio unfortunately.


You may find some additional help here....

This post really helped me out a while ago, but the link to the drivers is now broken. I have tried in vain to find it, but I am told my Radium 49 is class complient.

I just added an SSD and did a clean install. I can't get reason or other DAW's to see this trigger. Do I still need to download drivers for 10.9.5?


If so, can you help? I would like to use this key station. I deleted my old HD, so I don't have any of the old info or downloads.


Cheers.
