from the corresponding pop-up menus. (If the Manu-
facturer and Model pop-up menus do not provide a
name for your particular device, you can type a name.)

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 information
for many commercially available MIDI devices,
named “Digidesign Device List.middev.” If the
Manufacturer or Model names for any of your ex-
ternal 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).
