How do I install the Quattro Hardware and Software on my Mac?

Here is a simple, step-by-step procedure for attaching and powering up the
Quattro on the Macintosh Computer. Just in case there are any installation
updates since this writing, please check the driver disk that came with your
Quattro for a readme file regarding installation.
The Quattro’s MIDI operation on the Macintosh requires the OMS (Open Music
System) program from Opcode. If your Quattro came with a CD, OMS is
included on this disk. If your Quattro came with a floppy disk, you will need to
go to either our website (http://www.midiman.com/drivers.htm, find the MacOS
9.x section, then OMS) or Opcode’s website (www.opcode.com) to download
OMS. The OMS program is a MIDI manager, which MUST be installed prior to
running the AudioSport Quattro Installer in order for the Quattro MIDI driver to
be properly placed in the OMS folder. See the next section, “Configuring OMS”
for more information.
The AudioSport Quattro comes with an installer program that will place all
driver components except the Quattro ASIO driver in their proper folders. The
Quattro ASIO driver will be placed in a folder on your desktop, and must be
inserted into your music program’s ASIO folder, provided that your music
program uses ASIO.

1. On the Driver Disk that came with your AudioSport Quattro, locate the folder
that contains the AudioSport Installer for the Macintosh. Double click on the
installer program. The Installer program installs all Quattro extensions, pluscreates an “AudioSport QUATTRO Asio” folder on your desktop, containing
the Quattro’s ASIO driver.

2. If you are using a music software program that utilizes ASIO drivers, then
locate the program’s ASIO folder (it will be found within the program’s folder
on your Macintosh HD). Drag the AudioSport ASIO driver (located in the
“AudioSport QUATTRO Asio” folder created by the Installer) to that folder.

3. Properly shut down the computer.

4. Plug the Quattro wall-wart into your wall receptacle and to the Quattro 9vAC
power jack.

5. Connect the USB cable to your computer and the Quattro. Power up the
Quattro, then power up the computer.
For information on how to enable the Sound Manager to use the Quattro, see the
section “The Quattro and the Macintosh Sound Manager”). For further
information on using and configuring ASIO drivers, see the section “ASIO
Operation on the Mac.”
