For the additional cost of that Expansion board youвЂ™d expect more than 1 driver update. So I think you can see where IвЂ™m going with this. Yet we had to pay an additional $300 for the Firewire Expansion. Thunderbolt was release exactly 1 year later and through several changes of the architecture of that interface to date, Yamaha had done zero updates to the original driver.

The XF was released in 2010 and I recall only 1 update to the driver and it was relatively around the same year or so. Unless IвЂ™m mistaken, that driver hasnвЂ™t been updated since 2010. I have loved Apple systems since making the switch many years back but they have gotten really ridiculous with the frequent whimsical OS changes and the reality of it always comes down to monetary profits.Д«ut I do believe that Yamaha could have done a better job as well and been more proactive aside from it all on updating the FW driver. I guess itвЂ™s just the frustration of it all for me. I totally get that broвЂ™ and youвЂ™re right on so many levels on everything youвЂ™ve said. I hope you can find the peace of mind I get by trying things that way. IвЂ™ll take the Pages, Safari and Mail updates on the partition for the current OS and leave my music making partition as it was. IвЂ™m sorry that this post doesnвЂ™t fix your issue, but the only thing that matters to me about my music making set up is that works, and my way of working pretty much guarantees that all the time. They used to be around ВЈ90 GBP $110 on disc each time, then discs got cheaper around Snow Leopard (2009) so itвЂ™s a bunch of mixed blessings from Apple. With the current Covid-19 pandemic situation, itвЂ™s also likely that there will be a further delay to Catalina compatibility, although I doubt it will stop Apple banging another OS out at the end of the year.ДЄpple operating systems are free these days with no disc, packaging and distribution to think about. You can easily transfer files between the two operating systems and you get the best of both worlds, and none of those feelings of dread about updates.

Install the latest OS on one partition and an older OS for music making on the other partition, then you can easily boot between the two, and it feels just like having two Macs. You can do that by having a dedicated music making Mac, or if youвЂ™ve got just the one Mac, partitioning the drive on it.

The only way to win is to maintain a build of Mac OS which is slightly older, perhaps one or two years back, where everything still works and you can make music without worrying about updating for a while.

Developers of music making software always have to play catch up with Apple. ItвЂ™s not just that driver, thereвЂ™s loads of software that just hasnвЂ™t caught up, and itвЂ™s the same year after year. Secondly, you upgraded to the latest version, expecting things to work (a fair expectation) but thatвЂ™s never the case with music making software. Apple computers lasted longer in terms of compatibility and people made music with less worry about the future. It always used to be every two years, and that was a much better arrangement. (and I mean that in the nicest possible way).ДЇirstly, Apple keep making operating systems yearly, and thatвЂ™s no good for anybody but Apple. IвЂ™m sure it must seem that Yamaha are at fault here, but Apple are at fault and then IвЂ™m sorry to say that itвЂ™s you after that. You need to look at it the other way around really. Makes a nice useless desktop if I place a board and cover over I suppose. Guess IвЂ™m dead in the water right now for using my XF8 for much of anything from a DAW production standpoint. Does anyone know how long that status has been going on? I mean unless the report for the testing status occurred more recently then the suggestive 5+ months back, that is a long time. The report says the driver is still in testing for MacвЂ™s. IвЂ™ve got a lot of material that IвЂ™ve composed using my XF8 and the VST extension that I canвЂ™t even use now unless I go back and assign some other VST instruments. I checked out the Compatibility report here: and it appears as though the Firewire driver works on Windows but the post seems to suggest that the report was only last updated since Dec. Hey IвЂ™m running Catalina and the FW driver wonвЂ™t work so the OS doesnвЂ™t see nor communicate with my XF8.
