“Will you build me a Midibox SID?”

I get this asked via email a few times a year and I figured this time I’d write something to help everyone. The short answer is “No”, but the long answer is that I promise you that no matter how slow, cheap, illiterate, or busy that you think you are, there is no question, you can accomplish building one yourself. It’s not that hard. It really isn’t!

I like to think that my editor and recent Unitor Driver Checker had something to do with this, but I’m sure it’s just Apple finally coming to their senses. The most recent Unitor driver for Intel, version 2.5, is now available via the Apple website for everyone to download. You can get the download here. There is no requirement to purchase Logic, or iLife, or Garageband any more!!!

Rejoice. Read More...

I wrote an application that checks your installed USB MIDI driver, and offers you options for where you can get updates to the driver. Its now included with both the Leopard and Snow Leopard versions of the preference pane.

UPDATE 1: Unitor 8 Preference Pane is now 64-bit and available for 10.6 Snow Leopard and 10.5 Leopard. Development might move slow, but it does move!

UPDATE 2: version 0.9.6 - Fixed a silly bug that showed up when I tested it on Snow Leopard where the device selector would dissapear.

UPDATE 3: version 0.9.7 - Fixed 10.5 built to work on all hardware platforms PPC and Intel

• There are tons of improvements to the device scanning since I now have 2 devices.
• Hover help text has been added to give you assurance that the buttons do what you think they will do.
• Added a clear patch button

If you are shopping for a Unitor8 or AMT8 on ebay you really ought to be informed about which one is better.

The Unitor8 is the one with more features!

There is no reason to pay more for an AMT8 than you would for a Unitor8. The fact that people are paying $199 or more for an AMT8 when a Unitor can be purchased at the same time with a buy-it-now price of $150 is rediculous! The only features that an AMT8 has are IO patching and control of the LED brightness. The Unitor8 has all the syncing features for syncing to tapes or video, and a foot switch input that can be configured to do all kinds of cool stuff.

I know that prices are just what the market supports, but think in this case it's just ignorance and confusion about what each products features really are.

I've acquired an AMT8 to debug the issues with multiple chained boxes. I have it working but I'm searching for one known bug that causes a patch to get copied from one device to the other. If you'd like to test this and see if you can track down the situation that causes it, please contact me.



The AMT8 cost me $73 dollars. To date, 2 people have contributed $10 each toward this project. If you think this project is worth anything to you then please consider donating toward it.
