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.

Create Device or Quick Setup commands in the Configuration
menu. To delete a device, click it and press the delete key.

configure FreeMIDI for your studio again.
To save your configuration:

you can type command-S on your Mac keyboard.

Use the suggested name "FreeMIDI
Configuration" or enter another name for your
configuration, if you like. Use the directory pop-up
menu to navigate to a disk and folder in which you
wish to save this configuration. Click Save or click
Cancel to cancel the operation.
Quitting FreeMIDI Setup - and that's it!
Once you've saved your configuration file, you are
now ready to use FastLane. You do not need keep
FreeMIDI Setup open. The only time you need to
open FreeMIDI Setup is when you would like to
make changes to your FreeMIDI configuration.
You can re-open FreeMIDI Setup at any time.
