Introduction

This project provides a simple Mac OS X driver for a USB MIDI interface found on Casio keyboards.

This is entirely based on the SampleUSBMIDIDriver provided by Apple with the CoreAudio SDK.

You can download it here:

Casio USB Midi Driver (Universal)

Please also visit the Compatibility Reports wiki page and add your keyboard if it's not already there.

Installation

To install the driver, simply copy the CasioUSBMIDIDriver.plugin file into the Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers folder in your home folder or your system's harddrive.

You should then be able to plug your keyboard with a USB cable and power it up, it will show up in the Audio & MIDI Setup utility as "Casio USB MIDI Interface".

The driver should be compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and up, on PowerPC (G4 and up) and Intel processors.
