INSTALLING THE 8PRE 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

8pre interface and all CoreMIDI compatible

software.

Audio MIDI Setup is a utility included with

Mac OS X that allows you to conﬁgure your 8pre

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 8pre 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.

MIDI Setup.

Connecting MIDI devices to the 8pre

Once your 8pre interface appears in Audio MIDI

Setup, you are ready to add devices, indicate how

they are connected, and identify properties they

may have for particular purposes. This

information is shared with all CoreMIDI

compatible applications.

To add a device in Audio MIDI Setup:

1 Click Add Device.

2 Drag on its input and output arrows to draw

connections to the 8pre that match its physical

connection.
