Mac OS X MIDI input and output ports

Using the Mac OS X MIDI drivers, the microKONTROL provides a total of
three MIDI inputs and two MIDI outputs, as follows:
• One port each of MIDI input and output for external devices
• Two ports of MIDI input from the microKONTROL's own keyboard and
controllers
• One port of MIDI output dedicated to microKONTROL data dumps and
Korg Native mode
microKONTROL MIDI OUT
microKONTROL MIDI IN
microKONTROL dedicated port (CTRL)
The numbers assigned to these ports are a little different between the
microKONTROL front panel and the Mac OS X MIDI drivers.
On the microKONTROL, you can set the different kinds of controllers -
keyboard, pads, sliders, encoders, and so on - to send data to either USB Port
A or Port B (☞p.36 "[8] PORT (USB-MIDI Port setting)").
In the Mac OS X MIDI drivers, these same two ports correspond to Port 2
and Port 3, as shown below:
