Once installed, you should have 2 files, one is in System Folder:Extensions (MIDIMAN USB MIDI Support) and the other is in System Folder: OMS Preferences (MIDIMAN USB OMS Support. ) For more information, scroll through the Readme text which is presented on your screen during the installation process. 11 First Time OMS Configuration Instructions If you have installed the Oxygen 8 in Mac OS 9, it is now time to configure OMS (this is not necessary in Mac OS X). Go to the Chooser under the Apple Menu, and make sure AppleTalk is turned off (this is recommended, although OMS will sense that it is on and prompt you to turn it off). If you are installing your Oxygen 8's KEYSTATION driver and configuring OMS for the first time, follow these instructions to configure OMS. 1. In the Opcode folder, which you will find on your hard drive, locate the OMS Applications folder, then OMS Setup. OMS will inform you that it has not yet been configured. The Create A New Studio Setup dialog box now appears. The "OMS Driver Search" box asks you to choose the port on which you've attached the Oxygen 8 (either Modem or Printer). DO NOT choose a port (since we're using USB), just click "Search. " OMS begins Searching. IMPORTANT:If the USB cable is not correctly hooked up to the Oxygen 8, setup will fail. 5. "OMS Driver Setup" shows the Oxygen 8 KEYSTATION in a list when OMS successfully finds the driver. OMS will now define (shows "Identifying") the Oxygen 8 output port. The "OMS MIDI Device Setup" dialog box will appear showing the Oxygen 8's output port (labeled KEYSTATION) with an open check box to the left of the port. 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 Oxygen 8's output (labeled KEYSTATION). Assign your instrument (this step is optional) and you are done. 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 Oxygen 8 output port. The LED will light, and the sound module connected to the Oxygen 8 MIDI Out port should play the chord. You may now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application. The rest is up to the 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 Oxygen 8, a computer, MIDI sequencing software and/or a MIDI compatible sound module. This type of set-up can be connected as follows: 12 1.
