When I get to the point where I have to click an ikon to complete the connection the message sais the pointer will change to a musical note, but it doesn't. If someone knows how to fix this problem, I'd be most obliged to hear from you. Thanks, Stuartp77

If not go to Roland website and get the latest driver for Mac OSX [2] If your midi keyboard is USB compliant (USB2 slot) then you will not require the use of the UM-1EX. You may still need the driver for the particular keyboard, and can get that from their support download site. Good luck!
