If, however, you would like your MOTU MIDI
software programs to display the names of the
MIDI devices connected to your MIDI interface,
you can use the Quick Setup dialog in Figure-10 to
identify them by their manufacturer and model
names. If you can’t find one of your devices by
name in the pop-up menu lists, just use the “other”
designation for now. You can rename the device
later. When you are finished with the Quick Setup
window, click
Done
, and the FreeMIDI
Configuration window appears, looking
something like Figure-12 after you position the
MIDI device icons as desired.
