FREEMIDI
For existing FreeMIDI users
If you’re adding a new FastLane interface to a
USB-equipped Mac that already has FreeMIDI
installed, be sure to run the MOTU USB MIDI
software installer as described earlier in this
booklet to update FreeMIDI. Then simply run
FreeMIDI Setup . Your new FastLane interface will
automatically appear in your current FreeMIDI
configuration. If it doesn’t, make sure it’s turned on
and check cables.
For new FreeMIDI users
If you haven’t prev iously installed and used
FreeMIDI on your Macintosh, follow this simple
procedure:
1
Make sure that FastLane is connected to the
computer.
2
Locate the FreeMIDI Setup program on you
hard drive. During installation, it is placed in the
FreeMIDI Applications folder on the top level of
your hard drive.
3
Double-click the FreeMIDI Setup application
icon to launch the program.

If this is the very first time you’ve run a
FreeMIDI program on this computer, and you
happen to have OMS installed in the computer,
you’ll see the dialog below.

click the FreeMIDI button.
