Configuring AMS (Mac OS X Only)
Audio MIDI Setup
Pro Tools recognizes the ports on your MIDI in-
terface as generic ports. With Mac OS X, you use 
Apple’s Audio MIDI Setup (AMS) utility to iden-
tify external MIDI devices connected to your 
MIDI interface and configure your MIDI studio 
for use with Pro Tools.
To configure your MIDI studio in AMS:
1 Do one of the following:
• Launch Audio MIDI Setup (located in Ap-
plications/Utilities).
– or –
• In Pro Tools, choose Setup > MIDI > MIDI 
Studio.
2 Click MIDI Devices. AMS scans your system 
for connected MIDI interfaces. If your MIDI in-
terface is properly connected, it appears in the 
window with each of its ports numbered.
3 For any MIDI devices connected to the MIDI 
interface, click Add Device. A new external de-
vice icon with the default MIDI keyboard image 
will appear.
4 Drag the new device icon to a convenient lo-
cation within the window.
