Installing the USB driver for

motion dive .tokyo console “MD-P1”

Installing the USB driver

Welcome to the motion dive .tokyo Performance Package!

This package consists of the motion dive .tokyo software together with the dedicated

motion dive .tokyo MD-P1 hardware (which we’ll refer to as the “MD-P1”), giving you

the perfect VJ environment. Never again will you have to use your computer keyboard

for VJ performance!

In order to start using this package, the first thing you need to do is install the “USB

driver” for the MD-P1 into your computer.

The “USB driver” is software that lets your computer use the MD-P1. You must proceed as follows to install the driver before using a USB

cable to connect the MD-P1 to your computer.

In order to install the USB driver, you’ll need the DVD-ROM that’s included with this

product.

Regardless of the operating system you’re using (Windows or Mac OS), insert the DVD-

ROM marked “Install DVD-ROM.” Navigate to the “Driver” folder of the DVD-ROM,

and start up the installer (this will be Setup.exe for Windows,

and MD-P1USBDriver.pkg for Mac OS) to install the USB driver.

For details on installing the USB driver, refer to “Installing the USB driver” on the

back of this sheet. You must install the driver by following this procedure.

Uninstalling the USB driver

If you need to uninstall the USB driver, follow the instructions for “Removing the

driver” in “Hardware-related FAQ” on the back of this sheet.

Installing or uninstalling

motion dive .tokyo

Installing

To install motion dive, you’ll need the DVD-ROM included with this product.

Regardless of the operating system you’re using (Windows or Mac OS), insert the

DVD-ROM marked “Install DVD-ROM.”

The installer will start up, and the installation procedure will be shown on the

screen.

The explanations shown on the screen contain important information such as

instructions on how to defeat installation restrictions for each operating system, so

be sure to read them carefully without skipping anything.

Uninstalling

The procedure for uninstalling motion dive will depend on your operating system.

o Windows: The Start menu will contain a uninstaller named “remove motion dive.”

Select this, and follow the instructions that appear in the screen.

o Mac OS X: You can uninstall from the installer popup menu, or you can uninstall by

dragging the “motion dive console” folder from the “Applications” folder into the trash.

As a note of caution that applies to all operating systems, the motion dive uninstaller does not delete files

created by the user. If you want to completely remove all data, or to perform a clean reinstallation, you can

manually drag the “My MDTCTune” folder into the trash. The “My MDTCTune” folder is located in the folder

structure described below.

Folder structure

When installation is completed, the following folders and files will be created.

“motion dive console” folder (the application itself)

This contains the motion dive application itself. Normally you will not need to perform

operations in this folder.

• Windows: Normally this will be created in the

“c:\Program Files\digitalstage” folder.

• Mac OS X: This will be created in the “Applications” folder of your startup disk.

In OS X, this will be installed in the “Applications” folder of the system domain.

MDP1USBDriver.pkg (Mac OS)

“My MDTCTune” folder structure (video, music, plug-ins, etc.)

The “My MDTCTune” folder contains the videos, still images, music, and plug-ins you

will use in motion dive. You’ll use this folder when you want to add plug-ins or music

files, so remember its location.

Windows: Normally this will be located in the root directory of the C drive

(C:\My MDTCTune).

Mac OS: This will be in the same folder as the motion dive application.

“Library” folder

This folder contains videos, still images, and Flash movies for use in motion dive, as

well as Macro setting files. Normally you will not need to access this folder.

“Musics” folder

If you have MP3 format music files that you want to use with the “MUSIC PLAYER”

plug-in within motion dive, you can manually add them to this folder. Initially, this

folder contains several songs with bonus sounds.

“Plug-ins” folder

Optional plug-ins that add additional visual operations or expand the functionality of

motion dive can be added to this folder. Several types of plug-ins will already be in this

folder at the time of installation.

“Texts” folder

This folder contains patterns (text layer files) for use with the “Text plug-in” that

display realtime motion typography (titles) within motion dive. You can create them

yourself.

“Actions” folder

This folder contains Flash movies for use with the “Action plug-in.” You can create

them yourself.

“MIDI note” folder

This folder contains files for use with the “MIDI note plug-in.”

Starting-up for the first time

Starting motion dive

Start up motion dive.

Connect the MD-P1 to your computer before you start up “motion dive .tokyo”.

The “motion dive .tokyo” software will not start up unless the dedicated MD-P1 hardware console is connected. (The screen will indicate “MIDI devices not found! Please connect with MD-P1” and the program will exit.) If the above error appears even though the MD-P1 is connected, it is possible that the USB driver is not installed correctly. Please read “Hardware-related FAQ” on the other side of this sheet, and re-install the USB driver.

Don’t disconnect the MD-P1 from your computer while “motion dive .tokyo” is running.

This may cause the system to stop operating correctly.

Turn off the standby (suspend) and sleep settings of your computer.

If your computer enters standby (suspend) or sleep modes while “motion dive .tokyo” is running, it may stop working correctly. If your computer should enter standby (suspend) or sleep modes, you should exit the “motion dive .tokyo” software when the computer resumes operation, and then re-connect the MD-P1 to your computer.

USB Cable

•

Connect the cable to the USB connector of the Macintosh itself, not

to the USB connector of the keyboard.

• This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a

few seconds) after connecting the MD-P1 is required before the

unit will operate normally.

• The MD-P1 will not work in the Classic environment of Mac OS X.

Use it when the Classic environment is not running.

Using an external MIDI device to control motion dive .tokyo (V-LINK functionality)

The MD-P1 has a MIDI IN connector. You can connect a “V-LINK compatible device” such as a Roland/Edirol synthesizer or sampler to

this MIDI IN connector, and use it to control various operations in motion dive .tokyo. For example if you’ve connected a keyboard, the white keys will be assigned to switch clips and the black keys will be assigned to tabs, making it easy to change clips simply by pressing the appropriate key.

MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard that allows information to be transferred between electronic musical instruments and computers. By using MIDI cables to connect devices that have MIDI connectors, you can use a single MIDI keyboard to play an ensemble of multiple MIDI sound modules, and switch sounds while you play.

V-LINK

V-LINK ( ) is a function that lets you perform music and images at the same time. Simply use MIDI to connect V-LINK compatible devices, and you will be able to use a variety of video effects that are linked to your performance expressions.

Connection examples

MIDI IN

USB

• For details on settings for your “V-LINK compatible device” (e.g., keyboard or sampler), refer to the owner’s manual of your device.

• Sending large amounts of MIDI messages may burden the video processing.

MIDI messages

For details on the MIDI messages supported by motion dive .tokyo, refer to “MIDI Implementation Chart.”

MIDI channel

By default, the MIDI receive channels are set as follows.

Section A 1ch

Section B 10ch

MIDI note plug-in 9ch

* The MIDI receive channels can be changed via V-LINK exclusive messages.

MIDI synchronization

When the MD-P1 receives MIDI clock (F8) data at its MIDI IN connector, the tempo (BPM) of motion dive .tokyo will automatically synchronize to the external MIDI clock. To stop synchronization, stop the MIDI clock that is arriving from the device connected via MIDI to the MD-P1.
