Getting Connected and Installing Drivers
(Macintosh)
What is a driver?
A
“driver”
is software that transfers data between the UM-1EX and application software running
on your computer, when your computer and the UM-1EX are connected. The driver sends data
from your application to the UM-1EX, and from the UM-1EX to your application.
About the driver modes
The UM-1EX has two operating modes,
Advanced mode
and
Standard driver mode
, and a
different driver is used by each mode.
* Standard driver mode supports only Mac OS X.
If you’re using OS 9, you must turn the ADVANCED (mode select) Switch ON before you
connect the UM-1EX to your Macintosh.
*FPT = Fast Processing Technology for MIDI Transmission
Steps to be performed on the UM-1EX itself are marked by a symbol.
About the Driver Modes
ON
(Advanced mode)
This mode utilizes the UM-1EX’s special, advanced MIDI driver.
This advanced driver uses *FPT technology for rapid, high-performance
MIDI transmissions.
We recommend use of this mode.
