MAC OS 9 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION & SETUP
FastLane requires several software drivers. Install
them as follows:
1
Before you begin, use the Extensions Manager
Control Panel (Apple menu) to switch to the “Base
Set” of System Extensions and Control Panels.
This disables third-party extensions that may
interfere with installation. You can switch back to
your normal Extension Set after installation.
2
Insert the MOTU USB MIDI CD-ROM.
3
Run the Mac OS 9 installer and follow the
directions that the installer gives you.
WHAT DOES THE MAC OS 9 INSTALLER DO?
The installer checks the computer to make sure it
satisfies the minimum system requirements for
FastLane. If so, the installer adds the following
items to your Mac system:
FREEMIDI OR OMS?
FreeMIDI and OMS are industry standard MIDI
System Extensions for Mac OS 9. They allow MIDI
software to talk to FastLane and the devices
connected to it.
FreeMIDI is included in the FastLane software
installation. OMS is available as a free web
download at www.opcode.com.
