Quick start for Mac

 Parent chapter  Previous page  Next page

 

The Orpheus software can be installed on Macs with either PowerPC or Intel processors.  You need a spare FireWire 400 (IEEE1394A) port. You must have OS X 10.4 Tiger, or 10.5 Leopard, or later.

 

If you have Tiger, a patch must be installed before installing Orpheus - see the instructions at the end of the full Mac installation section.

 

•Connect your Orpheus to the mains supply with the power-cord provided.  DO NOT connect it to the Mac yet.

 

•Insert the installation disc into a DVD-ROM drive on your Mac.

 

•Double-click on the "Install_Orpheus" package.

 

•Follow the on-screen instructions.

 

•When software installation is complete, connect the Orpheus unit to the FireWire port of the Mac.

 

The Orpheus device's ports should now be visible in Audio/MIDI Setup as Core Audio ports.

 

NOTE: Do not connect the Orpheus unit to the FireWire port of the Mac until software installation is complete.
