MACMAN™

MACINTOSH MIDI INTERFACE

The Macman MIDI Interface allows your Macintosh computer to

send and receive MIDI.

If your sequencing software does not include a "MIDI

Manager," you will need to acquire Apple's MIDI Manager or

Opcode's OMS. Both of these are a free download from either

company's website (apple.com or opcode.com).

In almost all cases the Macman does not need power because it

can draw current from the Mac itself. However, some Mac com-

puters, like the Powerbook 500 series, cannot supply enough

power. In this case the Macman has a power connector on the

side for use with an optional 9 volt dc adaptor.

To install the Macman connect the included serial cable into the

Serial In connector on the Macman. Plug the other end of the ser-

ial cable into either the modem or printer port of your Mac --

either port can be used. Just make sure the MIDI program you

are using is set to the same port into which your Macman is

plugged. Macman does support both the new 9 pin serial GEO

port and the old standard 8 pin serial port.

Macman operates in MIDI mode when the INTERFACE/THRU

switch on the right side of the unit is pressed In AND a MIDI

application is being run. When the unit is properly activated in

this fashion, the red POWER LED will light, indicating that you

are in MIDI mode. The Macman is now able to send and receive

MIDI when addressed by a standard MIDI application.

The MIDI Data In and Out indicator LEDs are only operational

when the INTERFACE/THRU switch is IN and the red POWER

LED is lit. The MIDI LEDs will flash whenever MIDI data is

received or transmitted and can be very helpful when trouble

shooting your MIDI system. If the INTERFACE/THRU switch

is In and MIDI data is sent out from the computer, Macman's

MIDI Out LED will blink, indicating that data is being sent. If

your keyboard’s MIDI Out is connected to the Macman MIDI In

and keys are played, the MIDI In LED should blink indicating

that data is being received.

Typically, the Macman's MIDI In should be connected to the

MIDI Out of your keyboard. The Macman's three MIDI Out

jacks are identical. You can connect any of your instruments'

MIDI Ins to any of these MIDI Outs.

If you need to use a printer or a modem that is connected to

your computer through the Macman Interface, make sure the

INTERFACE/THRU switch is Out. When this switch is Out,

the Macman is bypassed, and whatever is plugged into the

Macman's Serial Out will be connected directly to the comput-

er. If you have run a MIDI application and now wish to use

your printer or modem, you may need to restart your comput-

er in order to reset the port. When the INTERFACE/THRU

switch is Out, the Macman acts as a MIDI Thru box by con-

necting its MIDI In to all three of its MIDI Outs.
