There is no 64-bit driver for the interface, so there's no chance to get that running on a 64-bit OS.

Default "old" MDI Hardware made useable

Hi,

I have found a nice solution:

I run a windows 7, 64bit machine, quad core with 6gb ram and wanted to use my "old" super mpu 64.

Using this method, you will be able to use any "old" hardware:

requirements:
1. a hypervisor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor
I'm using virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/

2. the driver of your device

3. a "midi over LAN" solution
I'm using rtpMIDI: http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/rtpmidi.html

4. 1,5 Gb of harddisk space

this is how I have done it:
1. set up a virtual winXP, with a HOST only Network, minimalistic setup, that means only necassary services running.
just for orientation:
when "my" virtual windows is running, it fills 1,2 gb virtual hard drive space and 55MB of RAM. there is some CPU usage: windows task manager shows 7-10 for virtual box inside of windows 7.
2. install USB drivers inside virtual winXP
3. connect the super MPU 64 to the windows 7 64 bit maschine and then "forward" it to the virtual winXP.
the moment you do it, winXP recognizes it and installs the driver
4. install rtpMIDI on windows 7 and virtual winXP
Apples Bonjour is recommended.
you can also setup manually without bonjour
here is the tutorial:
http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/softwa...-tutorial.html
5. when both maschines "see" each other over rtpMIDI you go to your windows 7 favorite DAW and select the MIDI Port, which you just configured in rtpMIDI

here we go on with our little black box!

now I wanted to listen to Steinbergs "the Grand", but it is not running smoothly on 64bit, yuck!

can somebody recommend a great piano VST?

best regards

KJ

Default found winx64 support

thanks to support from Japan, I'm able to use that superMPU64 on a windows 64bit maschine:

Domo Arrigato!

basically:
Use the UM2 64bit Windows 7 driver from official Roland support (leqacy hardware).

You'll just have 2 INS and 2 OUTS

Cheers
