[. . . ] This is offered by Apple as a free update to OS 8. 5 owners. Please check the Apple website at http://asu. info. apple. com for update information. OMS is a MIDI manager program that is made by Opcode. We have included it on the CD disk for your convenience, and also offer it as a free download from our website's MIDISPORT drivers page. OMS is required to run the KEYSTATION on the Macintosh, and it is important that you install OMS before running the KEYSTATION Installer. Locate the OMS installer program on this CD in the OMS 2. 3. 7 folder, and simply double click its icon to install OMS. Once this has been successfully completed, you can move on to the next step- the KEYSTATION 1. 0 Installer. FOR FIRST TIME INSTALLS: If you power up your Mac with the KEYSTATION attached and powered up, you will receive a message that an "unknown USB device has been detected. Click OK and proceed with the driver installation. You may also install the drivers first, and then plug in the KEYSTATION. Open the KEYSTATION folder, then the USB folder. There, you will find the KEYSTATION Installer program. You will now have to check this open box to enable the output port. Next, the "My Studio Setup" appears with a file save dialog box over it. You will now need to name and save your new Studio Setup (or use the default name) before you can assign an instrument to the KEYSTATION's output. Assign your instrument (this step is optional) and you are done. Your KEYSTATION is ready for use. You can run the OMS `Test Studio' utility by going to the `Studio' menu and releasing the mouse on "Test Studio". Playing a note on your keyboard will give you an audio message from your computer, "MIDI received, " while the arrow pointing to the keyboard icon flashes. Clicking on the keyboard icon with the mouse pointer will send a tone cluster to the KEYSTATION output port. The LED will light, and the sound module connected to the KEYSTATION MIDI Out port should play the chord. You may now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application. The rest is up to configuration within your music software. Generally, this means selecting "OMS Compatibility, " or "Open Music System" for your MIDI system setup. Setting Up Your MIDI Studio A typical MIDI system set-up would include your KEYSTATION, a computer, MIDI sequencing software and/or a MIDI compatible sound module.
