System Requirements and Installation
Hardware Installation
Mac OS X Drivers (Mac only)
If you are using a Macintosh computer, make sure that you are using the
latest Mac OS X drivers for your audio hardware. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions to install the driver.
Testing the Audio Hardware
To make sure that the audio device works as expected, perform the
following tests:
• Use any software included with the hardware to make sure that you
can record and play back audio without problems.
• If the hardware is accessed via a standard operating system driver,
try playing back audio using the standard audio application of the
computer, for example, Windows Media Player or Apple iTunes.
Installing a MIDI Interface or USB MIDI Keyboard
Although many USB MIDI keyboards and MIDI interfaces are plug&play
devices, you may have to install a dedicated device driver. Follow the
installation procedure described in the documentation that came with
the device.
