CHAPTER
4
Using MIDI Software
MAC SOFTWARE
Once you’ve completed the installation for your MOTU
MIDI interface/synchronizer as described in the previous
chapter, the devices you’ve specified in
Audio MIDI Setup
will appear in the MIDI input and output menus of your
MIDI software. You’ll also see a MIDI port called
All
Cables
. This port also appears in your MIDI programs,
allowing you to send the same MIDI data out all MIDI
output ports at once.
Figure 4-1: The devices in your Audio MIDI Setup configuration will appear as
MIDI input sources and output destinations in your MIDI applications, as
demonstrated here with Digital Performer.
WINDOWS SOFTWARE
Once you’ve completed the installation for your MOTU
MIDI interface/synchronizer as described in the previous
chapter, you’ll notice that all MIDI inputs and outputs are
available to your MIDI software. The port names are
abbreviated as shown in Figure 4-2.
‘Sync IN - OUT ALL’ Port
In the list of input ports, the Sync in - out all port is where
all MIDI real time and MIDI Time Code messages will
arrive, regardless of the physical MIDI input jack from
which the MOTU interface receives them. All other
received data will arrive at its input port as appropriate. So,
to slave your MIDI software to an external sync source,
connect it to this port.
In the list of output ports, the
Sync in - out all port allows
you to send the same MIDI data to all MIDI output ports
at once.
