First Time OMS Configuration Instructions:
1. In the Opcode folder, which you will find on your hard drive, locate the OMS
Applications folder, then OMS Setup. Double click on OMS Setup.
2. OMS will inform you that it has not yet been configured. Click OK.
3. The Create A New Studio Setup dialog box now appears. Click OK.
4. The “OMS Driver Search” box asks you to choose the port on which you’ve
attached the KEYSTATION (either Modem or Printer). DO NOT choose a port
(since we’re using USB), just click “Search.” OMS begins Searching.
IMPORTANT: If the USB cable is not correctly hooked up to the
KEYSTATION, setup will fail.
5. “OMS Driver Setup” shows the KEYSTATION in a list when OMS successfully
finds the driver. Click OK. OMS will now define (shows “Identifying”) the
KEYSTATION output port. Please note that OMS sees the KEYSTATION port
A as port 1 (this is an OMS idiosyncrasy).
7. The “OMS MIDI Device Setup” dialog box will appear showing the
KEYSTATION’s output port with an open check box to the left of the port.
You will now have to check this open box to enable the output port. Click on
OK.
8. Next, the “My Studio Setup” appears with a file save dialog box over it. You
will now need to name and save your new Studio Setup (or use the default
name) before you can assign an instrument to the KEYSTATION’s output.
Assign your instrument (this step is optional) and you are done.
9. Your KEYSTATION is ready for use.
You can run the OMS ‘Test Studio’ utility by going to the ‘Studio’ menu and
releasing the mouse on “Test Studio”. Playing a note on your keyboard will give
you an audio message from your computer, “MIDI received,” while the arrow
pointing to the keyboard icon flashes. Clicking on the keyboard icon with the
mouse pointer will send a tone cluster to the KEYSTATION output port. The
LED will light, and the sound module connected to the KEYSTATION MIDI Out
port should play the chord.
You may now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application. The rest is up to
configuration within your music software. Generally, this means selecting “OMS
Compatibility,” or “Open Music System” for your MIDI system setup.
Setting Up Your MIDI Studio
A typical MIDI system set-up would include your KEYSTATION, a computer,
MIDI sequencing software and/or a MIDI compatible sound module. This type
of set-up can be connected as follows:
1. The KEYSTATION is connected to the computer via the USB port connectors,
using the supplied USB standard cable.
2. The KEYSTATION will play the synthesizer that is part of an internal sound
card, as well as any software synthesizers that are installed in your system.
