Configuring MIDI Studio Setup (Windows Only)
MIDI Studio Setup
MIDI Studio Setup (MSS) lets you configure the MIDI
controllers and sound modules that are connected to
your system, and control the routing of MIDI data be-
tween your MIDI equipment and Pro Tools.
MSS automatically finds MIDI interfaces, and lets you
specify a custom name for each of the MIDI ports
within the MIDI Studio Setup document.
MSS also supports XML-based patch file names for stor-
ing and importing patch names for your external MIDI
devices.
Entire MIDI Studio Setup configurations created within
MSS can be imported and exported.
MIDI Studio Setup Window
The MIDI Studio Setup window is organized into three
sections. Interface controls are at the top of the window.
All the currently defined instruments are displayed in
the Instrument Name list on the left side of the window.
A detailed view of MIDI parameters is shown in the
Properties section on the right.
Interface Controls
Create This button adds a new instrument to the Instru-
ment Name list.
Delete This button deletes the instrument or instru-
ments selected in the Instrument Name list.
Import This button lets you import an existing MIDI
Studio Setup file.
Export This button lets you export the current MIDI
Studio Setup file.
Show Duplicate Emulated Ports When this option is se-
lected and you are using a MIDI interface that supports
timestamping (such as MIDI I/O), the MIDI Studio
setup window shows both the DirectMusic time-
stamped output ports, and non-stamped duplicate em-
ulated output ports.
