MOTU MIDI Express XT [23/94] Using midi software

CHAPTER

Using MIDI Software

MAC SOFTWARE

Once you’ve completed the installation for your MOTU

MIDI interface/synchronizer as described in the previous

chapter, the devices you’ve speciﬁed in

Audio MIDI Setup

will appear in the MIDI input and output menus of your

MIDI software. You’ll also see a MIDI port called

All

Cables

. This port also appears in your MIDI programs,

allowing you to send the same MIDI data out all MIDI

output ports at once.

Figure 4-1: The devices in your Audio MIDI Setup conﬁguration will appear as

MIDI input sources and output destinations in your MIDI applications, as

demonstrated here with Digital Performer.

WINDOWS SOFTWARE

Once you’ve completed the installation for your MOTU

MIDI interface/synchronizer as described in the previous

chapter, you’ll notice that all MIDI inputs and outputs are

available to your MIDI software. The port names are

abbreviated as shown in Figure 4-2.

‘Sync IN - OUT ALL’ Port

In the list of input ports, the

Sync in - out all

port is where

all MIDI real time and MIDI Time Code messages will

arrive, regardless of the physical MIDI input jack from

which the MOTU interface receives them. All other

received data will arrive at its input port as appropriate. So,

to slave your MIDI software to an external sync source,

connect it to this port.

In the list of output ports, the

Sync in - out all

port allows

you to send the same MIDI data to all MIDI output ports

at once.
