How do i set Bitheadz Black & Whites to use with Digital Performer?Why do i see Unity DS-1, and not Black & Whites?

Black&Whites uses the unity DS-1 engine and drivers. When you install Black&Whites with Digital Performer _already installed_ , FreeMIDI drivers will be placed in the appropriate places.

To enable MIDI in Digital Performer:

– Launch FreeMIDI
– from the File menu, choose FreeMIDI Preferences.
– click “Input Port” under “Unity DS-1 Driver”, then click OK.
Unity DS-1 should appear in FreeMIDI. It will NOT be (or need to be) connected to a midi interface in the diagram.
– Save FreeMIDI and Quit.

– Launch Digital Performer. MIDI tracks should allow for the choice of “Unity DS-1, Input Ports”. Select one of the input ports, and choose a patch from the “Default Patch” list.

To enable Audio in Digital Performer.

– QUIT all applications
– Open the Black&Whites folder, and find the “Unity DS-1 MAS Plugin” (probably within a Utilities folder).
– move the “Unity DS-1 MAS Plugin”, from this location to the following location:

System folder >>> Extensions >>> MOTU >>> Plugins.

– once this driver is in the correct plugins folder, Unity will appear as a choice in Digital Performer’s inputs for audio tracks and aux tracks.
