- This first release version of the MIDISport drivers requires the new
- Macintosh operating system, OS 8.6, due to be released in early May.
- This will be offered by Apple as a free update to OS 8.5 owners.
- Please check the Apple website at www.apple.com for update information.
- The drivers will work in the 8.5 operating system, but the user may experience
- crashes that are random in nature (from several minutes to several
- hours). If running on OS 8.5, we recommend saving your work often.
-
- NOTE: This driver release allows for hot plugging/unplugging of the
- MIDISport. As of yet however, only one MIDISport can be configured and
- used with OMS. Please check the MIDIMAN website for driver updates at
- www.midiman.net.
-
- There are 4 driver components that need to be properly placed in your
- system. Please note that the MIDISPort driver for Macintosh is an OMS
- driver. You will need to install Opcode's Open Music System (OMS)
- software to use the MIDISport as a multiport MIDI interface.
-
- 1. Click on the USBMIDISportDriver file and drag it to the Extensions
- folder.
-
- 2. Click on the USBMIDISportShim file and drag it to the Extensions
- folder.
-
- 3. Click on the USBMIDISportLoader file and drag it to the Extensions folder.
-
- 4. Click on the MIDISport OMS driver and drag it to the OMS Folder.
- The OMS folder will also be found in the Systems folder (as is the
- Extensions folder).
-
- 5. Restart your computer. You are now ready to configure OMS.
-
- Go to the Control Panel or Chooser under the Apple Menu, and make sure
- AppleTalk is turned off (this is recommended, although OMS will sense
- that it is on and prompt you to turn it off). If you are installing
- your MIDISport driver and configuring OMS for the first time, follow
- these instructions to configure OMS.
-
- First Time OMS Configuration Instructions
-
- 1. In the Opcode folder, find the OMS Applications folder, then OMS
- Setup. Double click on OMS Setup.
-
- 2. OMS will inform you that it has not yet been configured. Click OK.
-
- 3. The Create A New Studio Setup dialog box now appears. Click OK.
-
- 4. The "OMS Driver Search" box asks you to choose the port on which
- you've attached the MIDISport (either Modem or Printer). DO NOT choose
- a port, just click "Search." OMS begins Searching. IMPORTANT: If the
- USB cable is not correctly hooked up to the MIDISport, setup will fail.
-
- 5. "OMS Driver Setup" shows the MIDISport in a list when OMS
- successfully finds the driver. Click OK. OMS will now define (shows
- "Identifying") both of the MIDISport output ports. Please note that
- OMS sees the MIDISport ports A and B as ports 1 and 2 (this is an OMS
- idiosyncrasy).
-
- 7. The "OMS MIDI Device Setup" dialog box will appear showing the
- MIDISport's two available output ports with open check boxes to the
- left of each port. You will now have to check these open boxes to
- enable each of the output ports. Now click on OK.
-
- 8. Next, the "My Studio Setup" appears with a file save dialog box
- over it. You will now need to name and save your new Studio Setup
- before you can assign various instruments to the MIDISport's outputs
- and inputs. Assign your various instruments and you are done. You may
- now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application.
