Configuring MIDI
In the OASYS PCI Editor, Disable "Editor Responds to OMS/FreeMIDI Controllers"
When using the OASYS PCI with Digital Performer, we recommend disabling direct MIDI input to the OASYS PCI and using DP's Patch Thru function instead. To do this:
1. Open the OASYS PCI Editor program.
2. In the Edit menu, select "Preferences."
The Preferences window will appear.
3. Click on the MIDI/Global tab.
The MIDI/Global preferences page will appear.
4. Turn off the "Editor Responds to OMS/FreeMIDI Controllers" checkbox.
This is similar to the Local On/Off parameter found on some synthesizers. Turning it off means that the OASYS PCI will not directly receive MIDI from MIDI controllers. Instead, it will only respond to MIDI patched through from other FreeMIDI programs, such as Performer or Digital Performer. This setting prevents various strange things from happening, including phasing, hung notes, and notes cutting off prematurely.In Digital Performer, Enable Play in Background and MIDI Patch Thru

1. Open Digital Performer.
2. In the File menu, select Preferences.
The Preferences window will appear.
3. Enable the "Play in background" option.
This option, in conjunction with the FreeMIDI settings described in the OASYS PCI manual, allows you to switch back and forth between Digital Performer and the OASYS PCI Editor program while DP continues to play.
4. In the Basics menu, select MIDI Patch Thru.
The MIDI Patch Thru dialog will appear.
5. Enable "Auto channelize," if this is not enabled already.
With this setting, Performer and Digital Performer will automatically patch MIDI through to record-enabled tracks.
6. Enable "Patch Thru in Background," at the bottom of the window.
This setting means that even when Performer or Digital Performer is in the background, it will still send the output of your MIDI controller to the OASYS PCI.
7. Press OK to close the window.Enable MIDI Clock Synchronization
1. In the Basics menu, select Transmit Sync.
The Transmit Sync dialog will appear.
2. In the menu labeled "Transmit beat clocks via port(s)," select Port A.
Leave the other settings at their defaults - "Generate MIDI Clocks" and "24 clocks per quarter note."

IMPORTANT: The MIDI Patch Thru and Transmit Sync settings are saved separately with each individual Digital Performer document. If you are working with existing files, you will need to change this on each of them separately.
To make sure that all new files have the correct settings, create a new file, make the Patch Thru and Transmit Sync settings, and then use the File menu Save As New Template command. Now, all n
