SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM

As described in chapter 4, "Installing the 828mkII
Macintosh Software" (page 35), the MOTU
FireWire Audio software installer will properly
install everything for you, including AudioDesk.
If you will be using AudioDesk's MIDI Machine
Control (MMC) or MIDI Time Code sync features,
and you are using Mac OS 9, FreeMIDI must be
installed. (You can install FreeMIDI from the
MOTU FireWire installer CD.) Under Mac OS X,
the CoreMIDI driver is automatically installed for
you as part of the "Easy Install" package.
If you are using a MIDI Timepiece AV or Digital
Timepiece for synchronization, be sure they are
present in Audio MIDI setup (or FreeMIDI Setup

under Mac OS 9).
