Your First Session with Metro

This tutorial guides you through MIDI setup and configuration and introduces you to Metro’s compositional environment. For this tutorial you need a Macintosh with 16 bit digital audio capabilities, a MIDI input device (such as keyboard synthesizer or MIDI controller), a multi-timbral sound module supporting the General MIDI standard, a Macintosh-compatible MIDI interface, and if using OS 9, Opcode’s Open Music System (OMS) installed. Your MIDI devices must be properly configured and connected to your MIDI interface, and your MIDI interface must be properly connected to your Macintosh.
