SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
22
Configuring your Windows setup for daisy-chaining
To avoid unwanted instrument layering (as explained
earlier), go to the front panel of each MIDI instrument
itself and program it to respond to a unique set of MIDI
channels. Each device should have its own MIDI
channel(s), to which no other device connected to that
MIDI port will respond. Refer to the documentation for
the device for details.
WHERE TO GO NEXT
Refer to the items below that apply to you:
If you want to start using MIDI software with your new
MOTU interface...
All MOTU interfaces have factory default settings that
allow your MIDI software to communicate with all MIDI
devices connected to the interface. So from here, you can
turn to your software documentation to get started.
☛
Mac users: if you haven’t created devices in your
Audio MIDI Setup as explained in “Creating a MIDI
configuration” on page 18, do so now before you begin
using your MIDI programs.
If you want to learn about the front panel controls...
Turn to chapter 6, “Front Panel Presets” (page 49).
If you want to program your interface with
ClockWorks...
ClockWorks is the software “front end” for the features in
your MOTU interface. It allows you to configure and
program the powerful MIDI routing and processing
features in the interface. You can graphically make direct
routings from inputs and outputs, stripe SMPTE time
code, create and save interface
setups (which consist of the
entire internal configuration of the interface), set up the
pedal inputs, or other tasks. For details, see chapter 5,
“ClockWorks” (page 27).
