appendix a
Configuring OMS (Macintosh Only)
Open Music System (OMS), which is included
on the Pro Tools Installer CD, has the following
capabilities:
• Keeps track of which MIDI devices you are us-
ing, how they are connected, and which
patches they are using
• Enables MIDI hardware to communicate with
your music applications
• Provides timing services and inter-application
communication
OMS stores a description of your MIDI studio in
Studio Setup documents, which are edited with
the OMS Setup application. Once OMS is config-
ured, your music applications know which MIDI
devices you are using by referencing the current
Studio Setup document.
The following sections provide basic instruc-
tions for configuring OMS. For more detailed in-
formation, refer to the electronic PDF version of
the OMS Guide installed with Pro Tools.
Configuring a New Studio Setup
Before configuring OMS, make sure the Digi 002
has been connected to the computer, and that
all devices connected to its MIDI ports are pow-
ered up.
To configure a New Studio Setup in OMS:
1 Launch the OMS Setup application. If OMS
has not yet been configured, you’ll be prompted
to configure a New Studio Setup. Click OK.
2 OMS prompts you to select the Modem or
Printer port to search for OMS drivers. Digi 002
uses FireWire to communicate with the com-
puter, so leave these options unchecked. Click
Search.
