- We can verify your computer is recognizing your MIDI keyboard by going to the Device Manager. Start Control Panel Device Manager. Your MIDI controller should show up in Universal Serial Bus Controllers or Sound, video and game controllers. For further Windows MIDI diagnostic tools, here is a helpful tutorial using MIDI-OX.
- In Mac OS X v10.4, X11.app was an optional install included on the install DVD. Mac OS X v10.5, Mac OS X v10.6 and Mac OS X v10.7 installed X11.app by default, but from OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), Apple dropped dedicated support for X11.app, with users directed to the open source XQuartz project (to which it contributes) instead.
