OMS Settings (Macintosh)
The File Utility software uses OMS (Open Music System) for MIDI input/output. To use the File Utility
software, OMS must be installed beforehand. For sake of example in the explanations below, the MIDI
instrument is connected to the computer via USB.

About OMS
File Utility uses the OMS (Open Music System) to transfer MIDI data to an external MIDI device. OMS is a system
driver that goes in the Mac OS System folder, and is designed to manage the MIDI data stream (input & output) in a
computer, to enable MIDI data transfer between MIDI software and hardware attached to the computer. OMS is a de
facto standard of the MIDI environment under the Mac OS, and various music software manufacturers have released
OMS-compatible sequencers and other software.
OMS has the following merits:
•
As OMS-compatible MIDI applications communicate with various MIDI devices via OMS, it is
no longer necessary for you to set up multiple MIDI drivers for those applications. Thus, you
can avoid conflicts between different drivers with the same purpose (MIDI control).
•
Once a Studio Setup is read in OMS, any OMS-compatible application will be aware of it, even
if you need to reconfigure the routing of the MIDI data stream or change the current Studio
Setup. OMS-compatible applications will commonly recognize the new configuration.
•
You can have different Studio Setups to choose one from, to switch to a different MIDI routing
(patches between MIDI devices and software) fast and easily.
•
Every time the OMS Setup application is opened, any MIDI device connected to the computer
is automatically detected, and its icon appears with a current MIDI status (channel number,
port number, patches, etc.). Once devices are properly configured with OMS Setup, you don’t
need to worry about the status.
