Launching OM

Start Up

The OM application - OM X.X.X - is located in the OM folder.

• A standard installation locates this folder in the Applications folder (MacOS X) or in C:/Program Files/ (Windows).
• A custom installation allows to locate the OM folder in any desired directory.

OM can also be started from an alias anywhere in the machine hard drive or from the dock.

To start the application, double click on the OM icon.

Creation of a Workspace

An OM session begins with the opening of a workspace[1], a working environment which is used at a session.

OM Start Up Dialogue Window

The OM dialogue window allows to choose or create a workspace. A name and location are chosen by the user when creating a new workspace.Zoom

The start up dialogue window opens after starting OM. It offers three options :

• **Open a workspace **

This workspace must already be located in you hard drive. Any existing workspace can be open with this option. Pick the workspace root directory in the dialogue window.

• **Create a new workspace **

Choose a name and location in order to create a workspace, which will then open automatically.

• **Open previous workspace **

Refers to the workspace that was open at the last session. This option is not available for a first use.

Former Ircam Workspaces

If you already have some experience with OM, note that the Ircam workspaces whose installation was previously offered are not available anymore. The tutorial patches contained in these workspaces can now be imported independently to any current workspace via the Help menu.

Workspaces Location

Workspaces must be created in the user’s home directory or one of its sub folders. Creating a workspace without writing permission can cause important crashes and data loss.
