About Open Plug-in Technology
You can start the File Utility software as either a stand-alone software or a plug-in application in the Open Plug-in Technology compatible application. Refer to the owner's manual of the client application (sequencer, etc.) for details on using the File Utility as a plug-in software.
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over MIDI devices from a music software sequencer. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors - directly from an OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately. This also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.

About the OPT Levels

The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown below. Level 1 OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control panels that can transmit data via the clients external MIDI ports. Typically this will allow basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly. Level 2 OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel automation. Typically this will allow both real-time and ofine MIDI effects (e.g. Arpeggiators, transposers etc.) to operate properly and supply automation to OPT panels. Level 3 OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that require direct access to client sequencer storage structures. Typically this will allow sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported (e.g. List editors, Auto Accompaniment, Data Checkers etc.).
OPT Level Implementation for the File Utility

n For information about installing OMS, refer to the separate Installation Manual.

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 conicts 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 recongure the routing of the MIDI data stream or change the current Studio Setup. OMS-compatible applications will commonly recognize the new conguration. 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 congured with OMS Setup, you dont need to worry about the status.

n For more information about OMS features, see the READ ME le included with OMS.

Setting up OMS

The procedure below assumes a MIDI instrument is connected to the computer via USB. The setup le for the MIDI instrument and the computer is provided on the CD-ROM supplied with the MIDI instrument. Copy the setup le located in OMS Setup for YAMAHA in the OMS folder to your computer. For details about the name of the Setup le, see the owners manual (Installation Guide) of the MIDI instrument.
