Mac OS X System & Mac Software. OS X on a Sun blade 100 desktop. Thread starter mike505; Start date Jul 2, 2001; M. Mike505 Registered. Anyone have experience with BladeRF on Mac OS? I've recently switched to a Mac, and I am having some trouble getting my BladeRF working on it. I've followed all the steps on their Wiki, but for some reason my bladerf doesn't show up when I plug it into my Mac.

With the new ControlBLADE 5, Music Computing furthers the concept of integrating industry leading controllers into its computer platform to create instruments that are more powerful and better integrated with software applications.
Starting with the most powerful and advanced computer core we’ve ever used in a ControlBLADE, the new Gen5 models can accommodate the latest i5 and i7 processors as well as up to 16GB of RAM and 2TB of hard disk storage on the primary system drive, and up to 4TB with the optional data drive. The ControlBLADE 5 comes equipped with over 8,000 sounds and effects.
Currently the ControlBLADE 5 is available with the Akai MPK261 or the M-Audio Axiom 2nd Gen controllers. Additional options will be made available as we receive additional customer and manufacturer’s requests.
Audio is greatly enhanced in the ControlBLADE 5 due to the available full 1U rackspace. A variety of audio interfaces are available as an option.
The ControlBLADE can be configured with a 10″ or 22″ multi-touch touchscreen. It can also be ordered without a touchscreen, which can then be used with an existing LED or TV you may already have.
Starting at just $2499, the new ControlBLADE 5 represents a powerhouse in music production on a economical budget.
