I did it only once with a titatium (macOS 9.1 ) and and Midisport 2x2 (should be similar), and it worked as expected:

1- make sure u have OMS 2.38 installed, and your interface connected (bypass any USB hubs to make sure).

2- install the USB drivers of your midisport using the installer provided on the midiman CD-ROM (check if any updates on their site). --> it will add 2 or 3 USB extension in your /system/extention/ folder.

3 Reboot

4- install the MIDIMAN OMS driver using another installer provided on the CD. --> it will install a 'midiman_something' in the /system/OMS Folder/

5- Reboot (maybe not necessary)

6- GO in your OMS studio setup, use Cards&Interfaces (something like that) in the menu, and click the 'update setup' button.

7- one Midisport interface icon should appear in the window.

8- Then create a Device (IMPORTANT) connected to this interface icon.

9- save and make current your OMS setup.

10- in reason, use the device(s) that you just created as MIDI in or out (as needed). Just dont directly select the interface in the menu.

I had the case (at step 7) when 2 midisports icons appeared in the oms setup. Only one was working correctly (i suppose its a bug). I just simply delete the not working one, and use the good one.
(Using the test function ,in oms, and looking at the MIDI led on the interface, quickly helped to understand which icon was the right one.)

It worked perfectly!
