COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
My MOTU USB interface just won’t show up in Audio
MIDI Setup (or FreeMIDI or OMS under OS 9), no matter
what I do.
If it’s not an obvious problem like cables or power, do a
fresh install of the latest Express interface driver installer
downloaded from www.motu.com. If this doesn’t work,
and you are operating under Mac OS 9, try a fresh install of
FreeMIDI (and OMS, if you are using it).
ClockWorks keeps displaying a message saying that
communication with my MOTU interface has been
disrupted, even though the interface is connected.
If the problem is not simply that your MOTU interface is
switched off or has a loose cable, it may be that
communication between ClockWorks and your MOTU
interface has been disrupted somehow. If you have a drum
machine or sequencer connected to it, be sure that it is not
sending MIDI sync to the Express interface. If so, turn off
the drum machine while launching the ClockWorks and
then mute real time data on its input cable. To reestablish
the connection between ClockWorks and interface, switch
off all MOTU interfaces, quit ClockWorks, let the boxes sit
for a moment, and then turn them back on again. Always
return to the simplest possible scenario if you just can’t
seem to get to the bottom of the problem. Starting from
the ground up usually either corrects the problem or gives
you valuable insight into how to solve it.
My MOTU interface will not sync to SMPTE.
Make sure that the SMPTE IN cable is firmly seated and
connected to the appropriate output on the tape deck.
Observe the LTC LOCK light. Is it flickering quickly and
steadily? If so, the MOTU interface is locked to tape and
the syncing problem is probably related to MIDI. If not,
check the level of the SMPTE: it should be approximately –
3 VU; then, try boosting or attenuating the SMPTE signal
from the tape. You may even want to try recording some
fresh SMPTE and locking to it.
The SMPTE counter just sits there when my MOTU
interface is syncing to SMPTE, even when its LTC LOCK
LED shows that it seems to be locked up just fine.
This most likely means that MTC (MIDI Time Code) is
not being routed to the computer. Check the Routings tab
(or the Device Settings and Routings window under OS 9)

- 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
