Lexicon NUVERB - FOR MACINTOSH Manual page 121

NuVerb User Guide
In general, all you need to run NuVerb is the NuVerb application and MIDI Manager (supplied
with NuVerb). Watch out for System folder conflicts. If there is an installation problem, it is
probably here.
The application itself is supplied in a compressed form on a floppy disk and must be copied
to the Mac hard drive and decompressed to run. The NuVerb icon verifies that the application
is present in its decompressed form.
Open NuVerb by double clicking on the application icon. When the application opens, select
Create Default Library from the Options menu. Single click on Large Hall, to load the
program. If your source of audio is correctly connected and playing, you should hear the Large
Hall reverb sound. This completes the verification procedure for NuVerb. If you encounter
difficulties, check through the items below.
Software Troubleshooting
If the application opens, but you do not hear audio, re-check cables, audio source connections,
and the entire signal chain.
If the application does not open, or immediately quits or locks up, refer to the items below. —
a System folder conflict is likely.
The System folder must contain certain items for NuVerb to run. Check for the following:
1. Verify that the Apple MIDI Driver is present in the top level of the System folder, i.e. not
inside another folder inside the System folder.
In theory, MIDI Manager will allow the use of multiple MIDI Drivers. However, if there
are any other MIDI drivers (Mark of the Unicorn, and Opcode among others provide their
own MIDI Manager Drivers), remove them and try running NuVerb with the Apple MIDI
Driver provided.
2. Verify that MIDI Manager is in the Extensions folder located in the System folder.
MIDI Manager allows NuVerb to receive MTC (MIDI Time Code). Other applications
(such as OMS) use MIDI Manager to send timing information between applicaitons.
