Therefore, if you are experiencing communication problems when using a USB MIDI interface, disable
AppleTalk.

The Editor needs a separate MIDI port (1 MIDI In and MIDI Out pair) for each connected Nord Mod-
ular/Micro Modular to run properly. If you are using several Modulars and/or a sequencer software on
the same computer as the Editor, you will need a multiport MIDI interface. You must configure the Ed-
itor and the sequencer to use separate ports of the multiport MIDI interface.
Most of the sequencer software automatically opens every port of a multiport interface. In this case
you have to deassign one or more of the ports in the sequencer software and dedicate them exclusively
to the Editor. See the MIDI setup/configuration/devices part in the sequencer program manual.

If you want to run one or several MIDI applications at the same time with the Editor, make sure you have
selected 'MIDI in background' in the OMS setup.
