USING SOFTWARE AS AN MMC CONTROLLER
Most likely, you’ll want to establish your computer
software as the MMC transport control master, so you can
control all MMC devices from your computer, allowing
you to play, stop, and cue all connected devices directly
from your software’s main transport controls.
This can be accomplished with an MMC-compatible
sequencer, MMC applet, or any other software that
transmits MMC transport control commands.
Your MOTU MIDI interface has the ability to serve as a
MMC transport slave, while at the same time generating
time code for other devices in your studio. In doing so, the
MOTU interface becomes a central, stable time code “hub”
for all of the devices in your studio, allowing you play, stop,
and cue them all directly from your sequencer.
Figure 9-1: Your MOTU interface (a MIDI Express XT in this example) can serve
as a time code “hub” while you control it from your sequencer via MMC trans-
port commands.

- Here s a suggestion if you have more than a few pieces of gear connected to your motu midi interface jot down which device is connected to each input and output in the worksheet below later on you ll enter this information into your software so you can refer to devices by name 11
- Interface this means that they share the same set of 16 midi channels so try to do this with devices that receive on only one midi channel such as effects modules so their receive channels don t conflict with one another 11

- Freemidi and oms are industry standard midi system extensions for mac os 9 they allow midi software to talk to your motu interface and the devices connected to it they also provide unified midi system configuration for example they supply your midi software with a list of midi devices connected to your motu usb midi interface as a final step in the software installation process you need to run the freemidi or oms setup utility to specify what devices are connected to your motu usb interface for complete details see appendix d freemidi and oms page 151 21
- If you have no choice but to daisy chain you need to configure each device such that it doesn t share any midi channels with other devices in the chain otherwise you ll 21
- In general daisy chain midi devices as shown in figure 3 5 on page 22 should be avoided because it is more complicated to set up than connecting each device directly to your motu interface 21

- As for midi data arriving and leaving your computer via the motu usb midi interface driver imagine it coming and going from the motu interface as shown in figure 4 2 all channelizing and filtering is applied before the input data arrives at the computer and after it is sent 26
- From the computer this is a great advantage as it frees up your computer and midi software from having to deal with the mundane and time consuming chore of such processing just configure your motu interface and let it do all the work 26
