5Note Before performing the following procedure, the OMS and USB MIDI Driver should be installed.
Use a USB cable to connect the USB terminal of the computer (or the USB hub) to the USB terminal of the PF-500 and turn the PF-500's power on.
Start the computer.
Insert the included CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your Macintosh computer. The CD-ROM icon appears on the desktop.
Double-click on the CD-ROM icon, "OMS_", and "OMS Setup for YAMAHA." The file "PF-500-USB" appear. Copy these to the hard disk on your computer.

NOTE When using the serial connection for the File Utility, set the MIDI Out:/ MIDI In: setting in the OMS Port Setup to MIDI Time Piece-Printer, or MIDI Time Piece-Modem.
Double-click on the "PF-500-USB" file to start the OMS Setup.
After starting the OMS Setup, the Studio setup file double-clicked in step #5 opens.

- Note If is not indicated at the right of the setup file name, select "Make Current" from the "File" menu and execute the save operation.
The OMS studio setup has been completed.
- Note After the OMS studio setup above has been completed, your computer will recognize only the PF-500 as a MIDI instrument. If you use another MIDI instrument in addition to the PF-500 or you add a second PF-500 to the existing system, you should create an original Studio Setup file. For details, refer to the on-line manual supplied with the OMS.
Depending on the Macintosh and operating system version that you are using, the included studio setup file for the PF-500 still may not work even after you have performed the above steps. (MIDI transmission and reception will not be possible even if the setup is valid.)
In this case, use the following procedure to re-create the setup file.
Connect the PF-500 and Macintosh via USB or serial cable, and turn on the power of the PF-500.
Start up OMS Setup, and from the "File" menu, choose "New setup."
The OMS driver search dialog box will appear. Check [Modem] or [Printer] if you are using a serial connection. Uncheck both of these if you are using a USB connection.
4 Click the [Find] button to search for the device. When the search has succeeded, the OMS Driver Setting dialog box will display the following.
For a USB connection: USB-MIDI 1
For a serial connection: MIDI Time Piece-Modem (Printe)
- If the device was found correctly, click the [OK] button to proceed.
- If the device was not found, re-check that the cable connections are correct, and repeat the procedure from step 1.
Make sure that the port is shown below the device that was found. (In the case of the PF-500, this will be a name such as USB-MIDI, Modem, or Printer.) Check the check box for the port, and then click the [OK] button.
A dialog box will appear, allowing you to name the file that will be saved. Input the desired filename, and click [Save]. This completes OMS setup.
From the "Studio" menu, choose "Test," and click the port icon. If a channel sounds on the PF-500, the system is operating correctly.
For details on using OMS, refer to OMS_2.3_Mac.pdf, included with OMS.
