Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard & Hauptwerk compatibility
Published: Friday, September 4, 2009 7:00 am
Please review the .pdf below which lists some important steps to be aware of when using Hauptwerk with OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'.
Hauptwerk is supported on OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard' with the same requirements that are listed for OS X 10.5.6 'Leopard'. We have tested our recommended Mac interfaces with OS X 10.6 which perform well with the following exceptions at the time of writing:
- M-Audio audio devices may not work until new drivers are released by them. The MIDI Sport 4x4 works with OS X 10.5.8 drivers on Snow Leopard.
- MOTU 24 i/o has issues with multiple units not showing all available channels when daisy chained.
Performance on OS X 10.6 is at least as good as it was on OS X 10.5 and in most cases improved. If you are considering upgrading to Snow Leopard please note the above issues and check with the manufacturers websites prior to upgrading to search for new drivers which may or may not be available.
