Using FreeMIDI on the Macintosh
Installing the USB MIDI Driver
* The USB MIDI Driver (for FreeMIDI) included on the disc is provided as an additional
module that allows the UM-1 to be used with FreeMIDI. Refer to the owner’s manual of
FreeMIDI, and install it on the startup hard disk before installing the USB MIDI Driver.
* 64 MB or more memory is required. Virtual memory cannot be used. You must make
memory settings to turn virtual memory “off” before using this.
* Disconnect the USB cable of the UM-1 from Macintosh before powering up.
1.
Start up the Macintosh.
2.
Insert the UM-1 Driver CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
3.
In the “UM-1 Drivers”–“UM-1 Driver E”–“FreeMIDI,” double-click the “UM-1 FM Driver-
E Installer” icon.
4.
Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the installation.
5.
After the installation is complete, re-start the Macintosh.
6.
Connect the USB cable of the UM-1 to your Macintosh.
* If you connect the UM-1 to the USB port on the keyboard of your Macintosh, this message
will appear: ‘The USB device “Unknown Device” cannot operate because it needs more
power than is available.’ Make sure to connect the UM-1 to a USB connector on the
computer itself.
Setting up FreeMIDI

Click [Continue]. If this is the second or later time, select “FreeMIDI Preferences” from the
File menu.

In the “FreeMIDI Preference” dialog box, check ”UM-1 Port” which is located below UM-1
Driver in MIDI Configuration, and click [OK].

correctly, and start up FreeMIDI Setup once again.
