Mac Installation

CD-ROM drive – if necessary, use Finder to open a view of the
CD-ROM drive. You should be presented with a window similar to
that opposite.
Nucleus Remote
2. To install Nucleus Remote, simply drag the Nucleus Remote icon to
the Applications folder alias. This will copy the application onto the
computer.
3. To run Nucleus Remote, locate and double-click the Nucleus
Remote icon in the Applications folder. If required, drag this icon to
the Dock on the Desktop to provide quick and easy access.
4. If it is necessary to uninstall Nucleus Remote, simply locate the

Trash.
It is also possible to run Nucleus Remote directly from the CD.
ipMIDI Driver
If an older version of the ipMIDI driver is already present on the computer, it must be removed prior to running the
installer; simply delete the
ipMIDIDriver.bundle
file from the
/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers
folder.
5. To install the ipMIDI driver, locate the ipMIDI package in the Finder window. Double-click this icon to launch the ipMIDI
installer. Follow the instructions in the installer (it should be safe to accept the defaults).
It will be necessary to log out and back in again after the driver has been installed.
