Using MOTU USB MIDI ports
MIDI PORTS
Once you have installed the MOTU FastLane-USB
MIDI driver, you’ll notice that two MIDI inputs
and outputs are available to your MIDI programs.
The port names appear as shown in Figure-6.

TROUBLESHOOTING
My MOTU USB interface ports don’t show up in
my Windows MIDI software, no matter what I do.
Have you unplugged the USB cable and then
plugged it back in lately? Under certain circum-
stances, doing so will cause the interface’s drivers
to lose communication with the hardware. If this is
happening to you, make sure the USB cable is
plugged in (both to the computer and the interface,
of course). Then, quit all MIDI applications. When
you relaunch them, the interface should now be
available to them again. If this is still not the case,
shut down the computer, check the USB cable
connections to the interface, make sure that its
THRU button is NOT pushed in (disengaged), and
power up the computer again.
