and Console Software
Software installation will go a little more smoothly
if you turn off your interface before switching on
your computer. Don't worry, however, if you've
already done so. Just follow the directions below.
To install the MOTU USB MIDI software:
1 Turn on your computer (if you haven't already
done so).
2 If the Windows Add Hardware Wizard appears
during startup, do not proceed and exit from the
Wizard.
Instead of installing the MOTU USB MIDI drivers
manually via the Wizard, you will run the MOTU
USB software installer.
3 Insert the MOTU USB software installer CD in
the computer's CD drive (if you haven't already).
4 If the MOTU USB software installer program
does not automatically begin running, double-
click SETUP.EXE on the installer CD to launch it.
5 Follow the directions the installer gives you.
That's it!
WHAT GETS INSTALLED?
The MOTU USB software installer installs drivers
for your MOTU USB MIDI interface, as well as a
Console application that gives you access to many
of your interface's features, including synchroni-
zation, MIDI processing and preset management.
You can find the console application in the
Windows Start menu under Programs>MOTU.
WHERE TO GO NEXT
Where you go next depends, of course, on what
you would like to do.
If you want to learn the front panel controls...
Turn to the chapter below that applies to you:
For the MIDI Express XT or micro express, see
I
chapter 5, "Working with Presets" (page 27).
For the MIDI Timepiece AV, see chapter 11,
I
"Using the Front Panel LCD" (page 101).
If you want to start using MIDI software with
your new MOTU interface...
All MOTU interfaces have factory default settings
that allow any MIDI software to communicate with
all MIDI devices connected to the interface. So
from here, you can turn to your software
documentation to get started.
If you want to program your interface...
Your MOTU interface console software is the "front
end" for the features in your MOTU interface. It
allows you to configure and program the powerful
MIDI routing and processing features in the
interface. You can graphically make direct routings
from inputs and outputs, stripe SMPTE time code,
create and save interface setups (which consist of
the entire internal configuration of the interface),
set up the pedal inputs, or other tasks.For details,
turn to the chapter that applies to you:
chapter 6, "Using Micro Express Console"
I
(page 31)
chapter 7, "Using MIDI Express XT Console"

(page 51)
chapter 10, "Using MIDI Timepiece AV

Console" (page 83)
