CoreMIDI and Audio MIDI Setup
CoreMIDI is the "under-the-hood" portion of Mac
OS X that handles MIDI services for MIDI
hardware and software. CoreMIDI provides many
universal MIDI system management features,
including MIDI communication between your
FastLane MIDI interface and all CoreMIDI
compatible software.
Audio MIDI Setup is a utility included with
Mac OS X that allows you to configure your
FastLane MIDI interface for use with all CoreMIDI
compatible applications. Audio MIDI Setup
provides:
A "virtual" studio on your Mac that graphically
■
represents your MIDI hardware setup and that is
shared by all CoreMIDI-compatible programs
A simple, intuitive list of your MIDI devices
■
whenever you need it in any CoreMIDI-
compatible program
