Select a manufacturer and model for the new

device from the corresponding pop-up menus.
(If the Manufacturer and Model pop-up menus
do not provide a name for your particular de-
vice, you can type a name.)
Naming a new MIDI device
For Manufacturer and Model names, AMS
refers to one or more files with the suffix
".middev" in the directory Root/Library/
Audio/MIDI Devices. Pro Tools installs a
file that contains information for many
commercially available MIDI devices,
named "Digidesign Device List.middev." If
the Manufacturer or Model names for any of
your external MIDI devices is not available
in the AMS Manufacturer and Model pop-
up menus, you can add them by editing the
.middev file in any text editor (such as
TextEdit).
