To configure an external MIDI device:
1 Select the external device icon and click Show Info (or double-click the new device icon).

Naming a new MIDI device
For Manufacturer and Model names, AMS refers to one or more files with the suffix “.middev”
in the directory Root/Library/Audio/MIDI Devices. Pro Tools installs a file that contains infor-
mation for many commercially available MIDI devices, named “Digidesign Device List.mid-
dev.” If the Manufacturer or Model names for any of your external MIDI devices is not available
in the AMS Manufacturer and Model pop-up menus, you can add them by editing the .middev
file in any text editor (such as TextEdit).
