SOFTWARE INSTALLATION FOR MAC OS X
Your MOTU interface requires several software drivers. It
also includes ClockWorks™, a setup program that gives
you convenient access to your MOTU interface’s
numerous features. Install all of this software as follows:
1
Insert the MOTU USB MIDI installer disc and launch
the installer.
2
Follow the directions that the installer gives you.
What does the installer do?
The installer checks the computer to make sure it satisfies
the minimum system requirements for your MOTU
interface. If so, the installer proceeds with the installation:
drivers are installed and the ClockWorks™ utility is
installed in the Applications folder.
CoreMIDI and Audio MIDI Setup
CoreMIDI
is the “under-the-hood” portion of Mac OS X
that handles MIDI services for MIDI hardware and
software. CoreMIDI provides many universal MIDI
system management features, including MIDI
communication between your MOTU USB MIDI
interface and all CoreMIDI compatible software.
Audio MIDI Setup
is a utility included with Mac OS X that
allows you to configure your MOTU USB MIDI interface
for use with all CoreMIDI compatible applications. Audio
MIDI Setup provides:
■
A “virtual” studio on your Mac that graphically
represents your MIDI hardware setup and that is shared by
all CoreMIDI-compatible programs
■
A simple, intuitive list of your MIDI devices whenever
you need it in any CoreMIDI-compatible program
