Okay, we couldn’t resist that little bit of word play. Seems that there are now 64-bit Windows drivers for MOTU FireWire and UltraFast USB 2 audio interfaces. These drivers will ship with all current products, but if you own a MOTU interface that’s running on a Windows machine, just go to MOTU’s Web site and download the new drivers for free. The updated 64-bit drivers include 32-bit emulation, allowing users to freely use 64-bit and 32-bit audio software applications simultaneously. Most importantly, all MOTU FireWire and USB 2 audio interfaces are supported, including the new UltraLite half-rack, bus-powered 10×14 FireWire interface, the 192kHz bus-powered Traveler, the 828mkII (FireWire and USB 2 models), the 896 (both the original and HD models), and even the original 828 FireWire interface. 64-bit drivers for MOTU’s PCI-X and PCI Express audio interfaces are now in beta and are expected to be finalized by the end of this month, while 64-bit drivers for MOTU’s entire line of USB MIDI interfaces are currently under development and are also expected to ship very soon.
