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.
This chapter shows examples of AMS using
Mbox 2. The instructions for Mbox 2 Pro
are identical to those presented here.
To configure your MIDI studio in AMS:
Do one of the following:
1
• Launch Audio MIDI Setup (located in Ap-
plications/Utilities).
– or –
• In Pro Tools, choose Setup > MIDI > MIDI
Studio.
Click MIDI Devices. AMS scans your system
2
for connected MIDI interfaces. If your MIDI in-
terface is properly connected, it appears in the
window with each of its ports numbered.
Audio MIDI Setup (MIDI Devices)
For any MIDI devices connected to the MIDI
3
interface, click Add Device. A new external de-
vice icon with the default MIDI keyboard image
will appear.
Drag the new device icon to a convenient lo-
4
cation within the window.
