opcode studio 4 Manual Do Utilizador

The left side of the Network Routing 
window contains the MIDI In columns. 
These columns control the signal routing 
from each MIDI device to the Macintosh. 
You can also route the timecode signal 
generated by the Studio 4.

If you connect both Macintosh serial 
ports to a network (consisting of either 
one or two Studio 4’s), you can select 
which serial port each device uses to com-
municate with the Macintosh. You can 
switch between ports by clicking the port 
icon in the Port column. Choose either 
the Printer port or the Modem port for 
each device. You can also choose to route 
timecode (as generated by the Studio 4) 
to either the Macintosh Printer or Modem 
port. Click and drag down the Port 
column to change many port assignments 
quickly.

Use the MIDI In Port column to balance 
the MIDI input data between the two 
Macintosh serial ports. For instance, time-
code data is very dense—so to prevent 
timing errors, you should always route 
timecode to the least used serial port (ide-
ally, its own port).

In Figure 6.3, data from the Masterman-
88, ProMaker/1 and Vectorific is sent to 
the Macintosh Modem port. Timecode is 
sent to the Macintosh Printer port.

If you connect only one Macintosh serial 
port to a Studio 4 (or pair of Studio 4’s), 
the Port column merely illustrates which 
Macintosh port is used; you can’t change 
the port assignment by clicking it.

TIMECODE NOTE: The Macintosh can 
handle only one incoming timecode stream 
per serial port. If you’re using multiple 
Studio 4’s, it’s up to you to make sure that 
no more than one Studio 4 per port is send-
ing timing information to the Macintosh.

Use the Compatibility (Compat) column 
to enable device inputs when you work 
with non-OMS software. Click each 
device’s Compatibility column to toggle 
between enabled (checked) and disabled 
(unchecked). Click and drag down the 
Compatibility column to change multiple 
compatibility settings.
