I think there is an unofficial driver for the MIDIMan MIDISport series.
http://musickit.sourceforge.net/availability.html
I'm finishing up a small app that makes the quicktime music synth
available to MIDI apps, just so I could have a way to test the other
applications I'm working on. I'll release it when it's finished.
I don't remember where I read it, but at some point in the future
the QT Synth is supposed to support DLS and SoundFont files, which
will be nice.
Of course this doesn't help much for the SysEx Editor/Librarians I have
started. I just wish some of the music device vendors could get on
the cluetrain WRT open source. There's an army of programmers out
here willing to write drivers for free for OSX, Linux, etc. if they'd
only
release the hardware info. Of course, the sluggish support for OSX
from the music software vendors does spell an opportunity for some of
us.

Hello,
I just joined this list, curious about the word MIDI in the
title. Do
you mean to tell me that there is actually MIDI support now on OSX?
Does it
work?
Yes. Of course I'm still waiting for USB drivers for my MIDI
interface :-(.
Damn I think I have a MOTU something. Are there any devices that have
a working driver?
