This is my first post here so I hope I’m in the right place for help.

I patched my 2008 Mac Pro to run Mojave!

It works!

I’m so happy that after hours of reading and learning how to do this I successfully did it!

Now that the system is up and running I found a critical error hope you can help fix.

I do audio and the Mac dosent recognize my midi piano keyboard or my FaderPort controller. None of the midi seems to be working?

This is kinda of a deal breaker for me as I need to play the music.

I believe it would need a patch for the usb and midi systems to work right.

I’ve tried everything and it recognizes it’s plugged in however there is no midi ports available ect..

Can someone put a bounty on this fix?

I refuse to return my machine back to el captain just so my midi works.

Thanks
[doublepost=1563102105][/doublepost]Also, thanks dosdude1 for the work!

In my trouble shooting I have a Mac that runs the regular Mojave and the midi controllers all work.

I was looking online for a PCIe card for usb or some way to work around the hardware issue here with the midi in the usb slots.

Thanks

Did you try the settings in Audio MIDI set up? If you look in MIDI studio it should show any USB drivers that are installed.

If it worked on "El Cap" maybe you had installed drivers / software for the Keyboard and need to reinstall ?

Yes, thank you for the suggestion. I tried the MiDI set up. And Studio Setup. But the device says no ports available on my 2008 Mac Pro running dosdude1 unsupported Mojave. The device shows in the devices in the system however inside the recording software or any software the Midi devices are nowhere to be found. Click on the audio midi setup and there seems to be no ports available to assign it.

Plug it in to my 2013 MacBook running the standard not modified Mojave and it detects with no extra confusion or configuration.

I think what is happening is the drivers for the midi and usb devices are different on this older machine and there would need to be some form of emulator to patch or bridge the communication.

That’s my feeling but that’s beyond my knowledge.

Pretty big bug for me, with out the machine recognizing my midi devices on the stock USB ports here it renders the machine useless to me ☹️ I think otherwise it’s genius!

I’m sure hope someone knows a work around for the midi? I was thinking what about installing new USB ports? But I only see PCIe slots available...
