M-Audio MIDISPORT 8x8/s [13/52] Serial driver installation for windows 98 or 2000

Applications folder, then OMS Setup. Double click on OMS Setup.

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

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

4. The "OMS Driver Search" box asks you to choose the port on which you've

attached the MIDISPORT (either Modem or Printer). DO NOT choose a port,

just click "Search." OMS begins Searching. IMPORTANT: If the USB cable is

not correctly hooked up to the MIDISPORT, setup will fail.

5. "OMS Driver Setup" shows the MIDISPORT in a list when OMS successfully

finds the driver. Click OK. OMS will now define (shows "Identifying") all

eight of the MIDISPORT output ports.

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

MIDISPORT's eight available output ports with open check boxes to the left

of each port. You will now have to check 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 (or use the default

name) before you can assign various instruments to the MIDISPORT's

outputs and inputs. Assign your various instruments and you are done.

9. Your MIDISPORT is ready for use. Pressing the front panel Mode switch until

the USB LED begins to pulse will make the MIDISPORT available as a USB

interface.

You can run the OMS 'Test Studio' utility by going to the 'Studio' menu and

releasing the mouse on "Test Studio". Playing a note on your keyboard will give

you an audio message from your computer, "MIDI received," while the arrow

pointing to the keyboard icon flashes. Clicking on a keyboard icon with the

mouse pointer will send a tone cluster to the corresponding MIDISPORT output

port. The LED will light, and your sound module should play the chord.

You may now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application. The rest is up to

configuration within your music software. Generally, this means selecting “OMS

Compatibility,” or “Open Music System” for your MIDI system setup.
