CORE MIDI AND AUDIO MIDI SETUP
Core MIDI is the “under-the-hood” portion of Mac
OS X that handles MIDI services for MIDI
hardware and software. Core MIDI provides many
universal MIDI system management features,
including MIDI communication between your
Track16 interface and all Core MIDI compatible
software.
Audio MIDI Setup is a utility included with
Mac OS X that allows you to configure your
Track16 interface for use with all Core MIDI
compatible applications. Audio MIDI Setup
provides:
■
A “virtual” studio on your Mac that graphically
represents your MIDI hardware setup and that is
shared by all Core MIDI-compatible programs
■
A simple, intuitive list of your MIDI devices
whenever you need it in any Core MIDI-
compatible program
Launching Audio MIDI Setup
1 Make sure your Track16 interface is connected
and turned on.
2 Launch the Audio MIDI Setup utility.
This can usually be found in /Applications/
Utilities. If it has been moved, just search for
Audio
MIDI Setup .
3 Confirm that the MIDI interface is present in the
MIDI Devices tab (or window) in Audio MIDI
Setup.
If the interface does not appear, or if it is grayed
out, check your cable connections and click
Rescan
MIDI .

Connecting MIDI devices to the Track16
Once your Track16 interface appears in Audio
MIDI Setup, you are ready to add devices, indicate
how they are connected, and identify properties
they may have for particular purposes. This
information is shared with all Core MIDI
compatible applications.
To add a device in Audio MIDI Setup:
