Configuring Applications - M-Audio Portman 4x4 Manual

• The Tape Recorder Tape Out (or Sync Out) is connected to the
PORTMAN 4x4/S SMPTE jack labeled "IN".
• The Tape Recorder Tape In (or Sync In) is connected to the
PORTMAN 4x4/S SMPTE jack labeled "OUT"
• Up to three additional MIDI sound modules or keyboards
may have their MIDI Ins connected to the remaining PORT-
MAN 4x4/S MIDI Outs. Optionally, the MIDI Outs of these
additional MIDI units may be connected to the remaining
PORTMAN 4x4/S MIDI Ins.

Configuring Applications

Once the Windows drivers for the PORTMAN 4x4/S have been
installed, you will need to configure your MIDI applications to
take advantage of the PORTMAN 4x4/S drivers. The manner in
which each application does this is different, so it is impossible to
go over all possible scenarios here. However, most Windows
MIDI applications have a configuration or settings dialog box
(sometimes called "MIDI Devices") that specifies the MIDI input
and output ports the program will be communicating with. If
your PORTMAN 4x4/S drivers are properly installed, you should
see the PORTMAN 4x4/S MIDI and SMPTE ports listed in this
dialog box.
In its factory default configuration, the PORTMAN 4x4/S
looks like ten independent devices, 5 of which are inputs and
5 are outputs. From the application's configuration dialog,
these devices are:
Inputs
IN1 - PORTMAN 4x4/S
IN2 - PORTMAN 4x4/S
IN3 - PORTMAN 4x4/S
IN4 - PORTMAN 4x4/S
SMPTE/Status - PORTMAN 4x4/S
Outputs
OUT1 - PORTMAN 4x4/S
OUT2 - PORTMAN 4x4/S
OUT3 - PORTMAN 4x4/S
