It is with great pleasure I can inform those interested in running An1x-edit from a Mac with OSX Lion that I have finally succeeded in making it work!!!

The mistake I made was so tiny… but still a total showstopper for me. Let me explain about my setup.

1. I use the latest version of OSX Lion
2. For using multiple operating systems I have VMware Fusion but I guess that Crossover or others might work as well. VMware Fusion makes it possible to run windows operation system at the same time as OSXLion and even alt-tab between them
3. I used Windows7 for this setup but I guess even XP works as long as there are proper drivers
4. I have a Roland UM-One USB midi interface. This is a cheap but good midi interface with almost no box… just a tiny led-box to show midi in/out.
5. Install UM-One on Windows7 and then plugin the USB-cable and select to connect it to Windows in the dialogue box.
6. Install An1xedit and select the UM-One.
Voila!

My mistake was that I assumed that the underlying OSX-drivers for the UM-One would be transparent to the Windows7… As soon as the correct midi-drivers was installed in Windows7 it worked like a charm.

Hopefully this can help somebody else in the same situation as I was…
