When you connect Osmose CE to your computer, three USB MIDI ports will appear:

1. usb port

macOS: ‘Osmose CE 49 play’ (Port 1) or ‘Osmose CE 61 play’ (Port 1)

Windows: ‘Osmose CE 49’ (Port 1) or ‘Osmose CE 61’ (Port 1) 

This port sends Osmose CE’s MIDI performance data over USB, according to the chosen MIDI configuration. Use this port when you want to send MIDI performance data from Osmose CE over USB.

2. din port

macOS: ‘Osmose CE 49 din’ (Port 2) or ‘Osmose CE 61 din’ (Port 2)

Windows: ‘MIDIIN2 (Osmose CE 49)’ or ‘MIDIIN2 (Osmose CE 61)’ 

Use this port when you want to send or receive MIDI messages on Osmose CE’s DIN ports. See the midi i/o tab of global settings to configure the DIN port behavior. 

3. daw control port

macOS: ‘Osmose CE 49 daw control’ (Port 3) or ‘Osmose CE 61 daw control’ (Port 3)

Windows: ‘MIDIIN3 (Osmose CE 49)’ or ‘MIDIIN3 (Osmose CE 61)’

Use this port to establish communication of the DAW protocols that enable DAW Control mode functionality. Don’t try to use it to control any MIDI devices, as it does not send, or receive, MIDI note information.
