OM playing MIDI

OpenMusic
#1

Hello dear friends,
The OM is really difficult for me, I have left a long while, now I will join actively for certain purposes.
1.where can I download the newest version of OM Tutorials and SDIF Tutorials Description files (pdf, my OM 6.9 is perfect downloaded), I can find only on-line Documentation but no Description folder (.pdf), I have an old one ( for instance Tutorial 7- Playing MIDI, now switch to Tutorial 10 MIDI - microtone setup etc…)
2.How to setup MIDI environment? I believe Midishare has been correct setup, do I need assign Driver Manager and how? I can’t play Chord-seq (the Listner has ERROR: port 0 is not connected. Check MIDI preferences to connect MIDI devices ?)
my hardwares Midi interface (old, green Midiman 2X2 Driver has update) synthesiser (Yamaha TG-100) are linked with computer ( Mac Pro OS 10.10.2)
thanks!

hello Shing-kwei

  1. The OM tutorials (and SDIF tutorial) are already packaged in your OM application.
    If you want to load them in the Workspace, use the menu Help/Import Tutorial Patches…/
    [ see http://support.ircam.fr/docs/om/om6-manual/co/Tutorials.html ]

  2. See the following page in order to setup MIDI in OM 6.9:

Hello Jean,
thanks for your reply, in fact Karim answered me 3 days ago and I have installed Midishare successfully. ( this is my first post on Forum, I have done twice because my Mac Pro responsed slowly)
I have all OM folder but lack step by step Description pdf files ( i have an old one but slightly different), without Description I can’t learn the SDIF Tutorials by myself.
I try to copy examples of Chord-seq, Voice to Finale but in vain.

all best

There is no PDF tutorial but the online user manual includes a section about SDIF tools which is pretty complete.

I hope this helps.
