6. Go to the Apple menu |Control Panel | Sound. You should see the “built-in”
sound icon, plus the Delta icon if your Audiophile 2496 is properly installed. If
your music program does use ASIO, leave the Sound Manager driver set to
“built-in” for both Sound In and Sound Out. If your program does not use ASIO
(check your software’s documentation) and you will be using the Sound Manager
to communicate with your Audiophile 2496, set Sound In and Sound Out to
“Delta.” See the section “Hardware Settings Page” in the Audiophile 2496
“Control Panel Software” section for information on selecting Sound Manger
inputs and outputs. Your Audiophile 2496 is now ready for use.
To configure the Audiophile 2496 for MIDI, you will need to have Opcode’s OMS
(Open Music System) installed first. OMS is provided on the CD that came with the
unit, or it can be downloaded from the Midiman website’s MIDISPORT drivers
page. Opening the OMS 2.3.7 folder and double-clicking on the “Install OMS 2.3.7”
program will install OMS in your system. To install the Delta MIDI driver once
OMS is properly installed:
1. Open the “Delta Products” folder on the driver CD, then the Delta Audiophile Mac
folder. Locate the “Delta Audiophile OMS Driver.”
2. On your Macintosh hard drive, in your System folder, you will find an “OMS
Folder.” Drag the Delta Audiophile OMS Driver into the OMS Folder.
3. Restart your computer.
To Configure your Audiophile 2496 MIDI in 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
configuring OMS for the first time, follow these instructions to configure OMS.
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 Delta MIDI (either Modem or Printer). DO NOT choose a port, just
click “Search.” OMS begins Searching.
5. “OMS Driver Setup” shows the “Delta” MIDI in a list when OMS successfully
finds the driver. Click OK. OMS will now define (shows “Identifying”) the
Delta output port. The “OMS MIDI Device Setup” dialog box will appear
showing the Delta’s output port with a check box to the left of the port, indicating
that the port is enabled. Now click on OK.
6. Next, the “My Studio Setup” appears with a ‘file save’ dialog box over it. You
will now need to save your new Studio Setup before you can assign an
instrument to the Delta’s MIDI output and input. Assign your instrument and
you are done. You may now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application.
