Configuring the IAC Driver
To control your software synth in Pro Tools by
MIDI, you may need to first configure the OMS
IAC driver.
To configure the OMS IAC driver:
1 If it’s not already installed, install the OMS
IAC driver. To do this, perform a “Custom Install”
from the OMS Installer.
2 Once the IAC driver is installed and you have
restarted your computer, you’ll need to update
your OMS Studio setup. In the OMS Setup application,
choose Studio > MIDI Cards and Interfaces.
3 Once the IAC driver appears in your Studio
Setup, double-click its icon and rename one of
the busses as desired.
Renaming an IAC bus
Since in this example we’ll be connecting to the
Tokyo software (from Koblo), we’ll rename the
bus as “Tokyo.”
4 Click OK.
5 Choose FIle > Save and then close OMS Setup.
Configuring the Software Synth
Next you’ll need to route the software synthesizer’s
audio output to DirectConnect, and assign
its MIDI control to the IAC bus. Following
is an example for configuring the Tokyo software
for Koblo synths.
To configure the Tokyo application for
DirectConnect:
1 Launch the Tokyo application and select the
desired synth from the Synths menu.
2 Choose File > Select Drivers. Set the Audio
Driver to “DirectConnect” and the MIDI Driver
to “OMS.” Click OK.
Drivers dialog in Tokyo application
3 Choose Options > MIDI Setup. Set the Doc Bus
to “Tokyo” and the Channel to 1, then click OK.
