M-Audio MIDISPORT 8x8/s [32/52] File exit

File | Exit

Quit the program. If the Confirm Exit option is checked (see above) the program

will have you confirm that you want to quit before it actually closes.

Hardware | Current Status

This selection gives you the current status of the MIDISPORT MIDI drivers, and

displays whether or not the MIDISPORT hardware is present and detected. The

MIDISPORT internal firmware revision is also displayed here if the MIDISPORT

is present and detected.

Hardware | Patchbay

Selecting “Patchbay” brings up the Patchbay Setup dialog box, enabling the user

to create patchbay configurations that will be remembered by the MIDISPORT.

This patchbay setup can be used only when the MIDISPORT is in standalone

mode. See section, “Remote Control Patchbay Operation” that follows.

Hardware | SMPTE Test

This selection gives you the current status of the SMPTE reader. This pop-up

dialog will tell you whether or not the MIDISPORT is currently locked to SMPTE

and what the incoming SMPTE format is. This feature is very handy if you are

experiencing SMPTE synchronization problems. If unable to lock onto an

incoming SMPTE signal from this dialog box, you should check your SMPTE

connections and SMPTE source.

Help | About

The usual information: what the program is, what software version, who wrote

it, copyright notice, etc.
