USB Driver Installation on the Mac
You must first install Opcodes’s OMS. This is available on the MIDISPORT
drivers page of our website, or can be installed from the driver CD by opening
the OMS folder and then double clicking the OMS install icon.
This release version of the KEYSTATION drivers requires Macintosh operating
system OS 8.6 or higher. This is offered by Apple as a free update to OS 8.5
owners. Please check the Apple website at http://asu.info.apple.com for update
information.
OMS is a MIDI manager program that is made by Opcode. We have included it
on the CD disk for your convenience, and also offer it as a free download from
our website’s MIDISPORT drivers page. OMS is required to run the
KEYSTATION on the Macintosh, and it is important that you install OMS before
running the KEYSTATION Installer. Locate the OMS installer program on this
CD in the OMS 2.3.7 folder, and simply double click its icon to install OMS.
Once this has been successfully completed, you can move on to the next step- the
KEYSTATION 1.0 Installer.
FOR FIRST TIME INSTALLS: If you power up your Mac with the
KEYSTATION attached and powered up, you will receive a message
that an “unknown USB device has been detected. Click OK and
proceed with the driver installation. You may also install the drivers
first, and then plug in the KEYSTATION.
1. Insert the Driver Software CD. Open the KEYSTATION folder, then the USB
folder. There, you will find the KEYSTATION Installer program. If your unit
came with a floppy, you will first find a “KeystationMac” folder, then the USB
folder.
2. Run the KEYSTATION Installer by double clicking on it. This installs all of the
KEYSTATION’s extensions as well as the KEYSTATION OMS Driver.
However, YOU MUST HAVE OMS INSTALLED FIRST BEFORE YOU RUN
THIS INSTALLER PROGRAM. Otherwise, the KEYSTATION OMS Driver
will not be placed in the OMS folder.
Once installed, you should have 2 KEYSTATION extensions in your extensions
folder, which resides in your System folder. They are: 1) KEYSTATIONDriver;
2) KEYSTATIONShim. The installer will also place the KEYSTATION OMS
Driver in the OMS folder, which also resides in your system folder. Now it is
time to configure OMS.
Go to the Control Panel or Chooser under the Apple Menu, and make sure
AppleTalk is turned off (this is recommended, although OMS will sense that it
is on and prompt you to turn it off). If you are installing your KEYSTATION
driver and configuring OMS for the first time, follow these instructions to
configure OMS.
