MACINTOSH SYSTEMS
Now, as The Band sings "Across the Great Divide," pick the
sections that are right for you and dive in. Mac owners start
here, PC owners proceed to page 52.
If you are unsure of any standard Macintosh or PC maneuvers,
such as clicking mouses and copying files, etc., please refer to
your computer manuals—you'll need to know those basics.
You can either install UltraMix Pro by itself or with OMS or
FMS. If you are already using OMS or FMS, you should in-
stall UltraMix Pro by itself to avoid accidentally erasing your
studio setup.
NOTE: OMS and FMS are very similar in function and
setup. So we're going to show an OMS example – FMS
will be about the same. Consult their respective manu-
als for more info.
1. Restart your Mac with Extensions off. (Hold down the
Shift key while restarting.) Insert the UltraMix Install dis-
kette and double-click on its icon.
2. Read the "Read Me" file before going any further. It may
include information that has been changed or updated since
the publication of this manual.

  • Page 1 MACINTOSH SYSTEMS You can either install UltraMix Pro by itself or with OMS or FMS. If you are already using OMS or FMS, you should in- stall UltraMix Pro by itself to avoid accidentally erasing your studio setup.
  • Page 2 3. Double-click the Installer icon. Then you’ll see the following: 4. Click on Continue. Next you’ll see this screen:...
  • Page 3 5. To install both UltraMix Pro and OMS, click the Install button. To install UltraMix Pro without OMS, click on the Custom button and choose the UltraMix Pro Only option. 6. Click Install. 7. Follow the prompt to select where you want UltraMix in- stalled.

  • Page 4: Setting Up Oms

    SETTING UP OMS 1. Double-click the OMS Setup icon. If you’re installing OMS for the first time, the following screen will appear: 2. Click OK. 3. Check the box (Printer Port or Modem Port) correspond- ing to the port your MIDI interface is plugged into.
  • Page 5 4. Click Search. You will then see the following screen, which will show you that OMS is searching for any MIDI in- terfaces connected to the port(s) you checked in step 3. 5. Then you’ll see a screen that indicates which interfaces OMS found in its search.
  • Page 6 6. Next, you’ll see this screen while OMS searches for MIDI devices, like synths and such, that are connected to the MIDI ports on your MIDI interface. 7. When OMS finishes this search, it will display this dialog box: Read the instructions, and if everything’s peachy, click OK.
  • Page 7 8. At this point you’ll be prompted to save your OMS studio setup. Go fer it. OMS opens a studio setup window that lists your MIDI interface(s). 9. Choose Preferences from the Edit menu. You’ll then see this dialog box:...
  • Page 8 If you use AppleTalk, make sure both of the AppleTalk-re- lated checkboxes are checked. Uncheck the “Report serial overrun…” checkbox. Leave the “SerialDMA” box alone—if OMS decides your system needs this, the box will be checked. If not, then OMS has decided you don’t need it. Do not second guess OMS! 12.
  • Page 9 You will then see this dialog box: 12. For Manufacturer, choose Mackie, and for model, choose Ultra-34. 13. Select Is Controller and then click underneath the num- ber 16 in the Receive Channels field. 14. Click the box next to MIDI Time Code under the Sends column.
  • Page 10 OMS recognizes only one setup as current at any given time. If you do not make your new studio setup current, OMS (and UltraMix) may not recognize the devices that you defined in it. If a studio setup is current, OMS will display a diamond to the left of the studio setup name in its window title.
  • Page 11 Please refer to the FMS owner’s manual for FMS instal- lation and setup instructions. DEFINING A SYNCHRONIZATION SOURCE Unless you are using UltraMix alone (with the intent of au- tomating only MIDI sound sources using MIDI files), you will need an external synchronization source to lock the timing of UltraMix to your music playback.
  • Page 12 5. Make sure that Send Machine Control is selected. If you do NOT want the UltraMix and UltraPilot transport controls to affect the controls on your tape deck or other external synchronization source, you can turn this option off by clearing the Send Machine Control checkbox.
  • Page 13 Save As Default tells UltraMix to remember all of the cur- rent UltraMix preferences, including the Sync Source. If you do not choose Save As Default, you will have to define the synchronization source each time you open UltraMix. NOTE: Save As Default also saves several other set- tings on your UltraMix Pro control bar, such as the Bypass mode or fader Record mode.

  • Page 14: Final Checkout

    FINAL CHECKOUT Now it’s time to make sure everything works together. 1. Open the UltraMix application (if it’s not already open). The transport window and an untitled session window should appear on the screen. 2. Push the BANK SELECT button on the UltraPilot (located on the right side).
