device is added, the automatic setup or scan procedure sets the appropriate MIDI input and
output port settings for the device. If the MIDI port settings are incorrect, you can manually
choose them from the Input and Out Port pop-up menus.

Special parameters
Some control surfaces such as the Mackie Control allow you to dene “special” parameters
such as fader touch sensitivity. When a device that oers special parameters is connected, the
special parameters area appears in the inspector. For more information about supported special
parameters, refer to the documentation for your device.
