IMPORTANT: Only select the “Merge All” feature if your<br />
MIDI application allows only one input to be selected at a<br />
time in its MIDI setup. The “Merge All” can affect SMPTE<br />
sync performance adversely because the MIDI Time Code<br />
(MTC) from the SMPTE port must be merged with any other<br />
MIDI data that is coming in on In-A or In-B. This incoming<br />
MIDI data can “jitter” the MTC and make the timing look<br />
irregular to the receiving MIDI application.<br />
Mac Driver/OMS Installation<br />
The <strong>BiPort</strong> OMS Driver is designed to run with Opcode’s “Open Music<br />
System.” You will need the OMS application to use the <strong>BiPort</strong> 2x4s as a<br />
multiport MIDI device. If you do not have Opcode’s OMS installed, or if<br />
you are not using an application that supports OMS, you will not be able<br />
to use the <strong>BiPort</strong> 2x4s. This is available as a free download from<br />
Opcode’s website, and you will find a link to it on the drivers page of<br />
the Midiman website.<br />
To Install the <strong>BiPort</strong> on your Mac, first attach one side of the supplied<br />
Mac serial cable (or any standard Mac serial cable) to the jack labeled<br />
“Host In,” and the other side to either the printer or modem port on you<br />
computer (for more information, consult the sections of the manual<br />
titled “<strong>BiPort</strong> Installation” and “<strong>BiPort</strong> to Host Connection”).<br />
Make sure that OMS has been successfully installed. After you are sure<br />
that OMS is properly installed, go to the Control Panel or Chooser under<br />
the Apple Menu, and make sure AppleTalk is turned off (this is recommended,<br />
although OMS will sense that it is on and prompt you to turn it<br />
off).<br />
Mac Driver Installation<br />
If you are installing your <strong>BiPort</strong> driver and configuring OMS for the first<br />
time, follow these instructions to configure OMS. If you have a studio<br />
setup already created in OMS and wish to create a new studio setup,<br />
skip to the section below entitled “Installing with an existing Studio<br />
Setup.”<br />
