Hi,
I had a backup of Mac OS 15.6 so I installed that yesterday and the only difference that was happing was that Cubase react on DAW Remote command but that was i Generic mode. In Vender mode the audio input was not present and DAW Remote don’t work either with Cubase or Logic.

Music workstations generally need to trail bleeding edge operating systems since it takes a while for music companies to catch up and create stable environments for their equipment. This is a generic statement that applies to most any electronic music device that interfaces with a computer.

If you have a mixed use computer - then you may be between a rock and a hard place. But if it's dedicated then I would backup everything, wipe the drive, and install an earlier OS then in-place upgrade once there is confirmation that it's safe to move on. And likely by that time there will be a newer OS than Tahoe -- so don't upgrade to the latest at that time but just go a step at a time keeping n-1 (at least) until it's widely accepted that the later OS is stable. Even brand new systems that come preinstalled with Tahoe can be downgraded by erasing everything and starting over (backup first if desired).

I understand this may or may not work for you.

I think those you mention is a exception. If I have read data that been publish so perhaps Montage M is compatible with Yamaha Steinberg Usb driver 3.1.7 but Yamaha Steinberg Usb driver 3.1.7 is not compatible
Tahoe !6. I hope it is so

3.1.3 was Sep 2022 and 3.1.4 was Dec 2022. So maybe/maybe not.

If the driver is otherwise stable there isn't a need to update except when new hardware comes out. Not saying this is always the case but may explain the lag between releases.

Whatever problems are out there could be driver related or not. Maybe firmware. Maybe OS. Maybe application software. Maybe documentation (i.e. how to properly set up everything).

Hi, I se that Yamaha Steinberg update the USB driver about a interval of 2 year, so we have to wait 1 year to next update? Yamaha Steinberg USB driver update 3.1.7 at 2024.05.17

Hi Simon I try that too but unfortunately the DAW Remote with Logic is very laggy and with Cubase DAW Remote don’t work at all.

DAW REMOTE is a remote control mode that lets you use the controllers on your instrument to control a DAW on your computer. That could be what he was referring to.

See p.392 in the operations doc.

Last night I uninstalled those Steinberg drivers from my Mac and switched to generic mode. Works fine! I have no idea why it didn't work for me originally.

Claes what do you mean by the remote function?

Hi,
I have now tested with both Vender and Generic driver and with the Generic driver I can record audio with Logic and Cubase. When I try the Remote function I could not get it function with Cubase or Logic. Midi works as it should.
In Vender mode Montage don’t turn up in Midi & Sound app so I could’t record audio. I could not neither get the remote function to work properly. No function in Cubase and in Logic was the behaiver of the playhead chaotic. I have to shot off Logic to have it stopped. Midi works as it should.
My setting in Cubase for Remote control is perhaps not complet excellent.

Oh that's great news!

I checked my Montage Claes and I'm on Vendor mode.

I was trying to avoid installing the drivers and I'm sure I tried Generic mode, but was unable to get my Mac to see the Montage at all until I got the Steinberg drivers installed. I was turning the air blue with remarks about Steinberg/Yamaha because those of us who use Macs generally chose the Mac because you don't have to mess with this sort of stuff! So perhaps I wasn't as focused as I should have been (and my new toy wasn't working!).

Claes I'd be very interested to hear back if you can get everything working in Generic mode without Steinberg drivers!
