I understand the the discontinued Emagic Unitor8 software is fading from the web. I'm uploading my Unitor8 directory from my XP machine in case someone requires it. The 1.3.1.mid firmware file is included, as is the Unitor8 Control program (windows only)


Unitor8 Control 3.0.zip
 Description:
Unitor8 Control V 3.0 and Update 1.3.1.mid

Included some help files in English and German.

hey mosc

i just registered in this forum simply to say thanks. i've been looking for this software for a while to edit my mt4 patches but couldn't find it anywhere.

isn't it great when you stumble upon a single post in a random forum that answers all your problems?

thanks again.

hey there
i just got an mt4 and am trying to get this Unitor8 Control thing happening...

will this zip you uploaded work on my computer, or do i need the actual install files so it will work on my machine? clicking the application file gives a couple of error messages and seems to freeze up afterwards...

thanks for posting this - hoping the mt4 is going to solve some of my midi routing issues once i get it set up.

cheers!

Hi.

I'm sorry I don't know anything about these files other than they worked pretty well with my Unitor 8. Maybe someone else knows and will chime in.

If you can get the drivers to work, don't bother with the Control application. Use MidiOx programs. They are better anyway.

Glad it helps. My Unitor died about 6 months ago.

But is not the full setup.exe required so this software can work correctly?

My Unitor 8 mk1 is connected via the COM port to Windows XP SP2 using a "Nullmodemkabel, 9 pins" but the Unitor 8 Control software says:

Code:
No new Devices found!
Please check MIDI cables and Devices.


RS232 and RS422 LEDs are blinking all the time in orange, also MIDI Out 1..8 LEDs are blinking all the time in green.

I assume the failure could be from a not fitting cable?

The cable I bought today is:

Code:
inLINE Computer Accesories
Nullmodemkabel, InLine, 9pol Bu/Bu 3m, geklippt
Null modem cable, InLine, DB9F/F, assebled type, 3m,
beige pinout: 1-7+8,2-3,3-2,4-6,5-5,6-4,8+7-1,S-S

Art.-Nr: 12224L(ROHS)
4 043718 100750

I have a couple of emagic mt4s, the baby brother to the Unitor 8. They are usb devices, but they are so old there are no XP drivers for them. I have spent hours trying to fool device manager and the usb enumerator into handling the mt4 drivers, but it is far from 100% successful. I am guessing that your unit predates usb. So, I am wondering if you were able to find any post-Win98 emagic drivers.

Dear Steve, I managed my Unitor 8 mk1 to work in Windows XP SP2, so also your MT4's should work in XP, of course. I just used the Win2k = Windows 2000 drivers for Windows XP.

I wrote my solution, in German here: http://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18415&p=580911#p580911 , just try this, if you still have any questions, ask here, I will try to help, if possible. Good luck my friend.

If necessary and allowed I could also upload here the drivers and the Unitor 8 Control software, with u8setup.exe.

Thanks for the link and the suggestion. I have not used the mt4 in a while. I now have a setup based primarily on my old motu parallel port interface, but I keep the mt4 aound in case I need overflow midi ports. I will double check the status of my current solution and will probably ask for help if its not working 100%.(I know very little German, but will try to figure out what I can from your solution.)

Thanks Mosc for upping this!

I have an AMT8 and MT4 which I have used with Logic and other programs on Mac and in XP. In my experience the Win2k drivers work just fine in XP. Believe it or not Apple does still quietly maintain the Mac drivers and releases updated ones with the Logic installers. I like these interfaces and am happy that they still work.

If you have an MT4 and an XPSP3 set-up, let me know if you can get it to work. I gave up trying years ago, but it would be nice to know if there's hope as well as the steps to success. Thanks.

A month or so ago, I did something on my very first Win XP PC and noticed I had used the MT-4 on it. So I plugged it in and somehow got it to work--nothing too fancy (i.e., not filtering), but was able to configure midi ins and outs using the software!!!
