OMS MIDI Setup
Metro’s MIDI Setup dialog box appears differently when OMS is installed. If you are not running
OMS, you may wish to skip this section of the Reference.
When OMS is installed, Metro can derive its MIDI Setup and Instrument configuration directly from the Current OMS Studio Setup document. This
feature can save a considerable amount of time as far as MIDI device setup and
initial configuration are concerned - especially when running multiple OMS-savvy
applications.
When using a multiport MIDI interface, such as the Studio 5 or MIDI Time
Piece, OMS allows you to custom-name each of the devices/ports within the Studio
Setup Document. Custom OMS device names allow Metro to refer to ports by names
rather than numbers.
When you choose MIDI Setup from the Setup menu, the MIDI setup dialog box
appears, offering the following options:
Record From You can select up to 8 different MIDI controllers across multiple ports when
using OMS in tandem with Metro. Click and hold the mouse on the Record From pop-up menu and designate which MIDI devices/ports you wish to record from.
Devices with a checkmark before their name are selected to record from.
Receive Sync FromClick and hold the mouse on the Receive Sync From pop-up menu to select the device/port from which Metro will receive timing
data. The Receive Sync From setting is only relevant when you are in external sync mode. The Receive Sync From pop-up menu only displays devices designated to send MIDI Time Code or MIDI
Beat Clock within the Current OMS Studio Setup document. Metro can only receive
sync from one device/port at a time.
Send Sync ToClick and hold the mouse on the Send Sync To pop-up menu to select devices/ports to which you want to send MIDI Clock.
Devices with a checkmark before their name are selected to receive MIDI Clock from
Metro. Send Sync To will function whether Metro is using its internal clock or is synced to
external timecode/MIDI clock. The Send Sync To pop-up menu only displays devices designated to receive MIDI Time Code or MIDI
Beat Clock within the Current OMS Studio Setup document. Metro can send sync
to multiple devices simultaneously.
 Note: If you have problems recording MIDI data from your MIDI controller into Metro, be sure to verify the Record Port setting under MIDI Setup.
Clocks per quarter noteclick the popup menu to tell Metro how many subdivisions you want each beat
divided into.
