Serial Port Midi Setup (Macos) - Korg Soundlink DRS OASYS PCI Installation Manual

Installation and Setup

Serial Port MIDI Setup (MacOS)

You can use the OASYS PCI as a stand-alone synthesizer or effects processor with a
simple serial-port MIDI interface, without OMS or FreeMIDI. To do this:
1.
2.
The Preferences window will appear.
3.
The MIDI/Global preferences page will appear.
4.
The OASYS PCI will now use the standard serial port drivers for MIDI. Notice that
the Serial Port parameters, named Serial Port and Interface Speed, are no longer
grayed out.
5.
The OASYS PCI can use either the Modem or Printer ports for MIDI.
6.
Almost all MIDI interfaces use "1x," which is the default.
The OASYS PCI will now receive MIDI from the selected serial port.
NOTE: When the MIDI System is set to Serial Port, only 16 channels of MIDI (A1-
A16) are available. Channels B1-B16 will not carry any data.
USB MIDI Interfaces (MacOS)
The direct serial port drivers only support "classic" MacOS serial ports. For use
with a USB MIDI Interface, use OMS or FreeMIDI instead.
OASYS PCI
Open the OASYS PCI Editor program.
In the Edit menu, select "Preferences."
Click on the MIDI/Global tab.
Set the MIDI System parameter to Serial Port.
Set the Serial Port parameter to the port that you'd like to use.
Set the Interface Speed to match the speed of the hardware MIDI interface.
