Important Tips:

  • Check your third-party plug-in developers’ websites for updates, as many of them may not install or run correctly under macOS 12 and will need updates to work correctly. 
  • Some Studio Magic Plug-ins may not run under macOS 13, please check with our partners for compatibility information.

  • Universal Control 3.1 and older versions are not supported and will not open sample rate settings correctly on macOS X 11 Big Sur / macOS 12 Monterey / macOS 13 Ventura and above
  • Original Series FaderPort has been removed from Universal Control. The USB I/O was too old to support firmware updates over newer USB 3.x chipsets on Mac or PC. This product is out of production and no longer available.
    • Please read this knowledgebase article on how to install updates for the older version of the FaderPort. 
    • The Original FaderPort will still be able to be used with macOS 11 Big Sur / macOS 12 Monterey / macOS 13 Ventura and above as it is a class-compliant MIDI device.
