Configuring OMS
(Macintosh Only)
If you are not using the USD Mac Serial port
to connect USD to a DigiSerial Port or CPU
serial port, then you will need to define an
OMS device for Pro Tools so that Pro Tools
can receive MTC from the USD. This ap-
plies only to Pro Tools 4.1 and earlier.
An OMS device is not required for the USD
to output MTC.
OMS should not be configured for any USD-
specific purposes whenever the USD Mac Se-
rial port is connected to a DigiSerial Port or
Macintosh serial port, Doing so would dupli-
cate (and adversely affect) timing information
between the USD and your computer already
provided through the Mac Serial port.
This section assumes you have a basic
working knowledge of OMS or FreeMIDI
and their operating conventions, including
connecting MIDI interfaces, creating docu-
ments, configuring drivers, and defining
and connecting MIDI devices. If you need
to review this information, refer to your
OMS or FreeMIDI documentation.
