Instructions for installing the ProKeys Sono 88 OS X drivers can be found in the User Guide found on the included M-Audio ProKeys Sono Drivers and Documentation CD-ROM.

Important Note about System Upgrades:

Please check the M-Audio driver download page at http://www.m-audio.com/drivers for the availability of an updated driver before you decide to install operating system updates.

Before new M-Audio device drivers are released, they are tested for use with the operating system versions that are available at that time. When updates for an operating system are released by Microsoft or Apple, all M-Audio device drivers have to be re-tested and possibly updated to ensure proper operation.

M-Audio recommends refraining from installing operating system updates until a driver has been posted to the M-Audio website for that specific operating system.
