To use the A5000/A4000 Editor software, OMS must be installed beforehand. n For information about installing OMS, refer to the separate Installation Manual. About OMS Voice Editor uses the OMS (Open Music System) to transfer MIDI data to an external MIDI device. OMS is a system extension that goes in the Mac OS System folder, designed to manage the MIDI data stream (input & output) in a computer, to enable MIDI data transfer between MIDI software and hardware attached to the computer. OMS is a de facto standard of the MIDI environment under the Mac OS, and various music software manufacturers have released OMS-compatible sequencer and other software. OMS has the following merits: • As OMS-compatible MIDI applications communicate with various MIDI devices via OMS, it is no longer necessary for you to set up multiple MIDI drivers for those applications. Thus, you can avoid conflicts between different drivers with the same purpose (MIDI control). • Once a Studio Setup is read in OMS, any OMS-compatible application will be aware of it, even if you need to reconfigure the routing of the MIDI data stream or change the current Studio Setup. OMS-compatible applications will commonly recognize the new configuration. • You can have different Studio Setups to choose one from,to switch to a different MIDI routing (patches between MIDI devices and software) fast and easily. • Every time the OMS Setup application is opened, any MIDI device connected to the computer is automatically detected, and its icon appears with a current MIDI status (channel number, port number, patches, etc.). Once devices are configured with OMS Setup, however, you need not care too much about the status. • OMS can drive various MIDI interfaces, including the standard type (16 channels) and the multi-port type (16 channels per port). If you use a multi-port type, you can control over 16 channels simultaneously via OMS. n For more information about OMS features, see the READ ME file included with OMS. Setting up OMS Setup files for the A5000/A4000 have already been created for use with the A5000/A4000 Editor; please use the appropriate file for your device. The following example is for the A5000. 1. Interconnect the MIDI interface device connected to the Macintosh and the MIDI IN-A or MIDI IN-B terminal of the A5000. Select the terminal you use (MIDI IN-A or MIDI IN-B) in the UTILITY/MIDI function/SysEx page/Receive Port. (This setting is not needed for the A4000.) 2. Double-click the “OMS Setup” icon in the “OMS Application” folder. 3. Choose “Open” from the “File” menu and select “A5000-Modem” from within the “OMS setup for YAMAHA” folder. n If you are using a computer with no modem port (such as the Performa series), look in the “A5000Printer” folder instead. 4. Choose “Make Current” from the “File” menu. The setup for your A5000 is now saved as the current studio setup. 5. Choose “Quit” from the “File” menu to close OMS Setup. n A5000/A4000 Editor is not compatible with versions of OMS earlier than 2.0. 25  se_e.qx 9/16/99 12:14 PM Page 26 OMS Port Setup Having set up OMS, you now need to start up the A5000/A4000 Editor and set the OMS ports. 1. First, start up the A5000/A4000 Editor by double-clicking its icon. n If AppleTalk is enabled, you will get an alert message. Click “OFF.” It will take some time for AppleTalk to be disabled. 2. Choose “OMS Port Setup” from the A5000/A4000 Editor’s “MIDI” menu, then select the port settings. In the following example, the tone generator is an A5000 and its setups are applied to OMS. MIDI In: Select “A5000.” MIDI Out: Select “A5000.” 3. Click [OK] to close OMS Port Setup. 26  se_e.qx 9/16/99 12:14 PM Page 27 Troubleshooting If you encounter problems such as no sound output or abnormal behavior, verify the connections before checking the following. If you are using the A5000/A4000 Editor for Windows, refer to the XGworks(lite) owner’s manual too. <Macintosh> <Windows> The printer port is not recognized. • The printer port will not be recognized if AppleTalk is ON. Note that with some Macintosh models, AppleTalk is automatically enabled when starting up. A5000/A4000 Editor is not available in the Plug-in menu. • Is the A5000/A4000 Editor installed in the same folder as XGworks(lite)? If not, reinstall A5000/ A4000 Editor. • Verify that the “Printer” checkbox has been checked in the OMS MIDI Setup window. Bulk data is not received. • Is the MIDI In set correctly in the System Setup of XGworks? The modem port is not recognized. • On some Macintosh models such as the Performa series, the modem port cannot be used and only the printer port is available. • • MIDI Out port is not available in Editor Setup. • The MIDI Out port in Editor Setup can be chosen from the MIDI Out ports in the System Setup of XGworks(lite). Check the MIDI Out settings in the System Setup of XGworks(lite). Verify that the “Modem” checkbox has been checked in the OMS MIDI Setup window. No MIDI In/Out data • • • In the OMS Port Setup, is MIDI In/Out set to “unknown”? If you change the OMS ports or setup, the OMS output ports have to be set accordingly in A5000/A4000 Editor’s OMS Port Setup window. Choose the appropriate receiving device. <Windows / Macintosh> Sound does not change when using knobs or sliders. • Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup? (Page 7) Is OMS using the same port as that connected to the cable? Open the OMS MIDI Setup window and verify that the checkbox for the relevant port has been checked. Parameter change data is not transmitted. • Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup? (Page 7) If the port and setup assignments are frequently altered, OMS may be unable to easily recognize the serial port. Reboot the Macintosh, set up OMS correctly, then start up the A5000/A4000 Editor. No sound heard when clicking on-screen keyboard in Edit Window. • Is the MIDI Ch. set correctly in the Editor Setup? (Page 7) Memory List data are not received. • Open the OMS Port Setup window and check that the MIDI In has been properly assigned (Page 26). • Open the Editor Setup Dialog and check that the Device No. has been properly assigned (Page 7). Open the Editor Setup Dialog and check that the Device No. has been properly assigned (Page 7). 27
