Hi,

I'm running Windows 10 inside Virtual Box on my MacBook Pro (OS X El Capitan). In Finale in the windows virtual machine, is it possible to receive the midi signal that is sent into my Mac via my external midi keyboard and interface? Somehow the audio is able to get routed correctly even though it shows the default "headphone" and "speakers" in the system audio. In Finale's audio setup dialogue box it only shows the default driver instead of the one for my interface. No recording devices are shown in my system audio settings (even though my interface has 4 mic/line inputs).

Anyway, the real problem is that no input MIDI devices show up in Finale's MIDI setup dialogue box. Anyone have experience with Virtual Machines?

Thanks for any help.

I run Windows 7 & 10 using BootCamp. There have been no issues with midi devices. Just make certain that the Windows drivers are loaded for those devices, presuming they have or require drivers. Some of your issues may relate to using Virtual Box. I've tried it a few years back and found that it did not work well with Finale.

Thanks, Ted. Good to know. BootCamp requires a partition of the HD, right? I just enjoy being able to switch back and forth quickly without having to restart.

I figured it out; I just needed to tell VirtualBox to connect my interface to the virtual machine when it noticed it attached to the host (by creating a filter in the USB settings). Then I installed ASIO4ALL and everything works as normal!
