MIDI Manager

MIDI Manager (For Macintosh Users)

MIDI Manager is an Apple system extension file which handles MIDI information. With it, you can determine the serial port for the exchange of music data in real-time with various MIDI software. PatchBay lets you determine how MIDI Manager is configured for the Apple MIDI driver and the MIDI software.

Normally the Apple MIDI driver will automatically load as part of the QY100 Data Filer start up process, which means you won’t need to perform any specific operation unless you plan to change the serial port connection. To change the serial port connection, please refer to the steps as outlined below.

● Setting the Serial Port

ZFrom the Apple pull-down menu, select “PatchBay”.

A window will appear indicating which interfaces are connected in relation to the MIDI Manager.

XDouble-click on the Apple MIDI Driver icon. Then select

which port you want to use and set the Interface Type. (In most cases 1MHz will be appropriate.)

MIDI Manager

CAfter starting up QY100 Data Filer, you can open the

PatchBay window to confirm how QY100 Data Filer is configured with the Apple MIDI Driver. You can also configure another sequencer program with QY100 Data Filer or determine various other settings.

* When you want to use the QY100 Data Filer, open the “Chooser” in

the Apple menu and turn off Apple Talk.

* To access information about PatchBay, from the Apple menu, select

“About PatchBay”.

* To run QY100 Data Filer on a Macintosh IIfx or certain Quadra models

requires that the “Serial Switch” be in the Control Panels folder, since the serial port configuration for these computers is different from other Macintosh models.
