[PD] OT: Very Old MIDI Keyboard Big Sur

[mitchell turner]

Martin,
That was my first thought as well. Unfortunately, I have long since lost the power bricks for the keyboards. Also, I’m trying to avoid any expense to my department (if that is possible). Thank you for the suggestion.

These Keystation and Radium keyboards are likely 10-15 years old. They are not class compliant and require drivers. Unfortunately, it does not appear M-Audio is going to produce legacy drivers.
