Chapter 13: CoreMIDI and Apple DLS Synth
CoreMIDI and Apple DLS Synth Tutorial
Selecting a MIDI Driver
Band-in-a-Box offers two MIDI Output options - Apple DLS Music Device (Built-in Mac sounds) and CoreMIDI.
The Apple DLS Music Device (Synth) does not require a Mac MIDI Interface or external synthesizer, and is the
simplest way to quickly make Music with Band-in-a-Box.
Hint: The Apple DLS Music Device is an Audio Unit softsynth which has properties very similar to the QuickTime Music Synthesizer.
CoreMIDI is the OS X standard MIDI driver method. CoreMIDI facilitates communication with external MIDI
devices, and it also enables inter-application “piping” of MIDI data between MIDI applications.
CoreMIDI requires some setup, but is not terribly complicated.
CoreMIDI with a MIDI Interface and External Synthesizers
If you have not done so already, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install your MIDI interface. Installation
details may vary, depending on the manufacturer and the model of your MIDI Interface.
Hint: It is helpful to occasionally check your manufacturer’s web site and download/install MIDI Interface driver updates which might
become available.
Apple “Audio MIDI Setup” Application
Audio MIDI Setup is usually found in your Applications folder. It can be helpful to locate Audio MIDI Setup in the
Finder, then drag its icon to the Dock, so it will be easy to launch the program (from the Dock) when necessary.
Audio MIDI Setup can also be launched from Band-in-a-Box...
