MOTU Micro Lite [55/166] Clockworks basics

CLOCKWORKS FOR MAC OS 9

THE DEVICE LIST WINDOW

ClockWorks serves as the “control center” for your MOTU

interface. The Device List window is one of the most

important windows because it shows you the current state

of communication with your MOTU interface.

If ClockWorks has detected and established normal

communication with your interface, it appears by name as

shown in Figure 6-1 on page 54.

If your MOTU interface is off-line (switched off or

temporarily disconnected), its icon will become grayed

out.

Working with several MOTU devices

ClockWorks serves as the control center for all MOTU

interface and synchronizer products, including the Digital

Timepiece synchronizer. If you have several MOTU

devices, they will all appear in the Device List (once

ClockWorks has established communication with them).

When you’re working with several MOTU devices,

ClockWorks needs to know which device you want to

work with at the moment. You indicate this by opening the

Device List from the Windows menu and clicking the

name of the device you want to control. This make the

windows and menus of ClockWorks apply to the currently

selected device. If a menu item or other item does not

apply to the device, it becomes grayed out.

Figure 6-2: The Device List lets you control which device you are working with in

ClockWorks when you have several pieces of MOTU gear. Click the name of

device to select it. The settings of the currently selected device appear in all of

ClockWork’s windows.

CLOCKWORKS BASICS

In explaining how to use ClockWorks, this chapter

assumes that you are already familiar with the standard

Macintosh user interface conventions, such as how to

select options using check boxes and radio buttons, how to

type and edit text, and so forth.
