[. . . ] A dialog box will appear, reminding you to exit all currently running programs and to disconnect the MIDISPORT from the USB port. The installer will scan your hard drive and will then install the necessary files and perform setup actions on your system. A series of progress bars will show you how the process is going (this can take some time). 7. A dialog box will appear, stating that the installation has succeeded. Upon doing so, the computer will find and install the necessary drivers. Windows Me or 98SE Installation is now complete. 14 Mac OS 9 This release version of the MIDISPORT driver requires Macintosh operating system OS 9. 2. 2. Please check the Apple website at http://www. info. apple. com for update information. After assuring that your system's operating system is up to the above specification, you must first install OMS, a MIDI management program developed by Opcode. This program is required to run the MIDISPORT on the Macintosh platform and it is important that it is installed before running the MIDISPORT Installer. We have included OMS on the CD for your convenience, and also offer it as a free download from our website. Locate the OMS installer program on this CD in the OMS 2. 3. 8 folder, and simply double click its icon to install OMS. Once this has been successfully completed, you can move on to the next step- the MIDISPORT Installer. FIRST TIME INSTALLATIONS: If you power up your Mac with the MIDISPORT attached, you will receive a message that an "unknown USB device has been detected. " Click OK and proceed with the driver installation. You do NOT need to search for drivers on the internet as you already have the drivers CD. Alternately (and recommended), you may also install the drivers first, and then plug in the MIDISPORT. 1. Next, the "My Studio Setup" appears with a File Save dialog box over it. You will now need to name (or you can use the default name) and save your new Studio Setup before you can assign instruments to the MIDISPORT's outputs. After assigning your instruments (this step optional) you are finished with OMS configuration and your MIDISPORT is ready for use. You can run the OMS `Test Studio" utility by going to the "Studio" menu and releasing the mouse on "Test Studio. " Playing a note on your keyboard will give you an audio message from your computer, "MIDI received, " while the arrow pointing away from the keyboard icon flashes. Clicking on a keyboard icon with the mouse pointer will send a tone cluster to the MIDISPORT's respective output port. The sound modules connected to the MIDISPORT's MIDI output ports should play the chord. You may also see the MIDI IN LED lights constantly flickering indicating some sort of MIDI activity, although no notes are being played. This is normal for most MIDI devices as the device is sending Active Sensing data to show users that a device is connected and working properly. [. . . ] One of the additional MIDI Inputs can also be used as a synchronization input, such as MIDI clock from a drum machine or MIDI Time Code from another sync source. NOTE: When the USB/MIDI Thru switch is pressed to the OUT position ("MIDI Thru" mode), output from your controllers will go directly to the sound modules. Passive (MIDI Thru) Mode (This section only applies to the MIDISPORT 2x2 and MIDISPORT 2x4) When your computer is switched off, or you are not using a MIDI application, you may still want to play your sound modules from the controller keyboard. Instead of repatching MIDI cables, you can use the USB/MIDI THRU switch on the front panel of the MIDISPORT 2x2 or 2x4. When this switch is in the Thru position, MIDI signals are passed from the inputs directly to the outputs. When your MIDISPORT is in "MIDI Thru" mode, it can not be used as a MIDI interface in conjunction with your computer. [. . . ]
