SOFTWARE INSTALLATION FOR MAC OS X
Install the UltraLite software as follows:
1 Insert the MOTU Audio Installer disc and
launch the installer.
2 Follow the directions that the installer gives you.
What does the OS X installer do?
The installer checks the computer to make sure it
satisfies the minimum system requirements for
your MOTU interface. If so, the installer proceeds
with the OS X installation. Drivers are installed,
along with MOTU Audio Setup, MOTU CueMix
Console, and several other applications,
summarized in the following table:
The UltraLite Core Audio driver
Core Audio is a term that refers to the software
technology built into Mac OS X that provides all of
its standardized audio features. More specifically,
we use Core Audio to refer to Mac OS X’s standard
audio driver model. A Core Audio driver allows the
UltraLite to establish audio input and output with
any Mac OS X Core Audio-compatible software.
Once the UltraLites Core Audio driver has been
successfully installed (by the installer), and you
have chosen it for use in your host audio software,
the UltraLite will appear as a choice for audio
inputs and outputs in your software.
All MOTU audio hardware, including our PCI
systems and other FireWire interfaces, ship with
Core Audio drivers that allow them to operate
successfully with virtually all Mac OS X audio
software.
