Audio MIDI Setup User Guide
For your aggregate device to work correctly, you may need to set the sample rate and drift correction for one or more of its devices.
Set the sample rate
All devices in the aggregate device need to have the same sample rate. The sample rate of each device should match the sample rate of the device chosen from the Clock Source pop-up menu.
In the Audio MIDI Setup app on your Mac, click the disclosure triangle next to the name of your aggregate device in the sidebar.
Above your aggregate device, select one of the devices that’s used in your aggregate device.
In the right side of the window, click the Format pop-up menu, then choose the sample rate and bit depth for the device you selected.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each device used in the aggregate device, choosing the same sample rate and bit depth for each device.
Testing to see if a MIDI device is recognized on Mac. Open Spotlight by pressing Command + Spacebar, or clicking the magnifying glass in the top right corner of your desktop. Type in Audio MIDI Setup. Hit Enter or select Audio MIDI Setup from the list. Two windows should open the Audio Devices, and MIDI Studio. If not click on Window at the top. Change the Format settings in Audio MIDI Setup to 96000.0 kHz and 2ch-24bit. Also, running the music through your Mac’s built-in audio hardware means you’re probably not getting all the. In Audio MIDI Setup (in Applications - Utilities), a set of Generic MIDI device icons is available to visually recognize your different MIDI controllers. It's possible to add your own Midi devices to the list by adding an image file to /Library - Audio - MIDI Devices - Generic - Images. First, you need to open Audio MIDI Setup, so go to finder and click Applications - Utilities - Audio MIDI Setup. Select EVO 4 from the list of devices and select Configure Speakers Set your left and right output to loop-back 1 (L) and loop-back 2 (R).
Enable drift correction
If the devices in your aggregate device aren’t synchronized using hardware, you need to enable drift correction, also known as resampling, to compensate for drift in the data between devices.
In the Audio MIDI Setup app on your Mac, select the aggregate device in the list.
Choose your aggregate device settings.
If all of the devices in the aggregate device aren’t synchronized through hardware, click Clock Source, then choose the device with the most reliable clock. Then select the Drift Correction checkbox for each device.
If some of the devices in the aggregate device are synchronized through hardware, click Clock Source, then choose the hardware synchronization’s clock master. Then select the Drift Correction checkbox for each device that isn’t synchronized through hardware.
If all of the devices in the aggregate device are synchronized through hardware, click Clock Source, then choose the hardware synchronization’s clock master. Make sure none of the Drift Correction checkboxes are selected.
Audio MIDI Setup User Guide
If you use MIDI devices or a MIDI interface connected to your Mac, you can use Audio MIDI Setup to describe the configuration of your MIDI devices. There’s a default configuration already created, but you can set up your own.
You can use this configuration information for apps that work with MIDI, such as sequencers, to control your MIDI devices.
Note: Make sure your MIDI devices are connected to your Mac. If you’re using an interface device, connect any other MIDI devices you’re using to the interface. Also check that any software provided by the manufacturer of the MIDI devices has been installed. For more information, see the documentation that came with your devices.
View a MIDI configuration
In the Audio MIDI Setup app on your Mac, choose Window > Show MIDI Studio.
In the MIDI Studio window, click the Choose MIDI Configuration pop-up menu (it may show Default), then choose the configuration you want to view.
In the toolbar, click the following buttons to change how the configuration is shown:
Hierarchical View : Devices in the configuration are shown as icons. If a device isn’t connected, its icon is dimmed. To view information about a device, such as channel properties and ports, and to add or remove ports, double-click the device’s icon.
List View : Devices in the configuration are shown in a list, organized by type (such as Interface or External Device). If a device isn’t connected, it’s dimmed. To filter which devices are shown, click the Show pop-up menu, then choose an option (such as Online or Connected). To view information about a device, double-click the device. To view its ports, or to connect or disconnect devices, click the device’s disclosure triangle.
