update information.
NOTE: As of yet, only two MIDISPORTs can be configured and
used with OMS in USB operation. Please check the MIDIMAN
website for driver updates at www.midiman.net.
OMS is a MIDI manager program that is made by Opcode. We have included it
on the CD disk for your convenience, and also offer it as a free download from
our website’s Midisport drivers page. OMS is required to run the MIDISPORT,
and it is important that you install OMS before running the MIDISPORT
Installer. Locate the OMS installer program on this CD in the OMS 2.3.7 folder,
and simply double click its icon to install OMS. Once this has been successfully
completed, you can move on to the the next step- the MIDISPORT 1.0 Installer.
FOR FIRST TIME INSTALLS: 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 may also install
the drivers first, and then plug in the MIDISPORT. Make sure that USB mode is
selected on the MIDISPORT by pressing the front panel Mode button until the
USB LED blinks.
1. Insert the Driver Software CD. Open the MIDISPORT8x8 folder, then the
USB8x8 folder. There, you will find the MIDISPORT Installer program. If
your unit came with a floppy, you will first find an MS8x8Mac folder, then
the USB8x8 folder.
2. Run the MIDISPORT Installer by double clicking on it. This installs all of the
MIDISPORT's extensions as well as the MIDISPORT OMS Driver. However,
YOU MUST HAVE OMS INSTALLED FIRST BEFORE YOU RUN THIS
INSTALLER PROGRAM. Otherwise, the MIDISPORT OMS Driver will not
be placed in the OMS folder.
Once installed, you should have 2 MIDISPORT extensions in your extensions
folder, which resides in your System folder. They are: 1) MIDISport8Driver; 2)
MIDISport8Shim. The installer will also place the MIDISPORT OMS Driver in
the OMS folder, which also resides in your system folder. Now it is time 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, which you will find on your hard drive, locate the OMS
