INSTALLING THE ULTRALITE MAC OS X SOFTWARE

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

UltraLite FireWire interface and all CoreMIDI

compatible software.

Audio MIDI Setup is a utility included with

Mac OS X that allows you to conﬁgure your

UltraLite 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

Launching Audio MIDI Setup

1 Make sure your UltraLite interface is connected

and turned on.

2 Launch the Audio MIDI Setup utility.

This can usually be found in /Applications/

Utilities. If it has been moved, just search for Audio

MIDI Setup.

3 Conﬁrm that the MIDI interface is present in the

MIDI Devices tab of Audio MIDI Setup.

If the interfaces does not appear, or if it is grayed

out, check your cable connections and click Rescan

MIDI.
