M-Audio Biport 2x4s [26/48] First time oms configuration instructions

First Time OMS Configuration Instructions

1. Insert the supplied disk entitled “BiPort 2x4s Mac Drivers.” Have

your System Folder open, with the OMS Folder accessible. Double

click on the floppy disk icon when it appears and drag the BiPort

OMS Driver icon into the OMS Folder.

2. Within your Hard Drive files, find the Opcode folder. In the Opcode

folder, find the OMS Applications folder, then OMS Setup. Double

click on OMS Setup.

3. OMS will inform you that it has not yet been configured. Click OK.

4. The Create A New Studio Setup dialog box now appears. Click OK.

5. The “OMS Driver Search” box asks you to choose the port on which

you’ve attached the BiPort (either Modem or Printer). Choose a port,

click “Search.” OMS begins Searching.

IMPORTANT: At this stage of the BiPort OMS setup you

MUST have the Mac Thru switch on the BiPort in the Out

(MIDI) position. If this switch is In, the BiPort is bypassed,

won’t be seen by OMS, and setup will fail. Also, if the serial

cable is not correctly hooked up to the BiPort, setup will

fail.

6. “OMS Driver Setup” now shows the BiPort (and the port to which it is

attached) in a list when OMS successfully finds the driver. Click OK.

OMS will now define (shows “Identifying”) all of the BiPort output

ports. Please note that OMS sees the BiPort ports A through D as

ports 1 through 4 (this is an OMS idiosyncrasy).

7. The “OMS MIDI Device Setup” dialog box will appear showing the

BiPort’s four available output ports with open check boxes to the left

of each port. You will now have to check all of these open boxes to

enable each of the output ports. Now click on OK.

8. Next, the “My Studio Setup” appears with a file save dialog box over

it. You will now need to name and save your new Studio Setup

before you can assign various instruments to the BiPort’s outputs and

inputs. Assign your various instruments and you are done. You may

now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application.
