software), the click the "Next" button.

11. On the next screen, Windows will indicate it has searched for the driver files

for the "Midiman USB Midisport 8x8/s Midi Driver" and is now ready to
install the driver. Click the "Next" button to continue.

12. Windows will copy files and then once again indicate it has finished

installing the software that your new hardware device requires. Click the
"Finish" button.

The software drivers are now all loaded and functional. If you look in the Device
Manager, you will find 2 parts for the Midisport driver; one under the "Universal
Serial Bus" controller group and the other under the "Sound, video, & game
controllers" group. Your MIDISPORT is ready for use. Refer to the sections
"Setting Up Your MIDI Studio" and "Using the MIDISPORT in your Application
Software" for more information.

USB Driver Installation for Windows 2000

1. Boot Windows 2000 with the Midisport connected or connect it after

Windows 2000 has been booted.

2. Windows will detect the presence of a USB Device and will start the Found

New Hardware Wizard.

3. Click the "Next" button on the first screen.

4. Select the "Search for suitable driver for my device" item and push the "Next" button.

5. Select the appropriate source for the driver files.

6. The Drive File Search Results screen will indicate that it has found a driver

for this device; push the "Next" button to install the driver.

7. After Windows copies the loader portion of the driver, two things will

happen rather quickly:

a) The Found New Hardware Wizard will display a screen indicating it has

finished installing the software for this device and requesting you to click
the "Finish" button.

b) An "Unsafe Removal of Device" screen will be shown indicating the

"Midiman USB Midisport 8x8 Loader" has been unplugged. This is because
after the loader has completed loading firmware into the Midisport, the
hardware reconfigures itself as a new device, reporting this to Windows over
the USB interface.

8. Click the "OK" button on "Unsafe Removal of Device" screen.

9. Click the "Finish" button on the Completing the Found New Hardware

Wizard screen.

10.You will then see Windows indicate that it has found another new USB

Device for which it will automatically install the Midiman USB MidiSport8x8
Midi Driver.
