Instrument List
The Instrument list contains all the currently de-
fined instruments. Selecting an instrument in the
list displays that instrument’s properties in the
Properties section of the window.
Properties Section
The Properties section lets you edit information for
new instruments, or instrument currently selected
in the Instrument list.
When a previously defined instrument is selected
in the Instrument list, the Properties section
changes to reflect the properties of the selected in-
strument.
To define an instrument with MIDI Studio Setup:
1 Choose Setup > MIDI > MIDI Studio.
2 Click Create.
3 In the Instrument Name field, type the name of
your instrument, and press Enter.
4 Set a manufacturer and model for the new de-
vice from the corresponding pop-up menus. If
the Manufacturer and Model pop-up menus do
not provide a name for your particular device,
choose None.
5 From the Input pop-up menu, choose the input
port on your MIDI interface that is connected to
the MIDI Out of your instrument.
6 From the Output pop-up menu, choose the out-
put port on your MIDI interface that is con-
nected to the MIDI In of your instrument.
7 Enable the appropriate MIDI channels (1–16)
for the Send Channels and Receive Channels
options (These determine which channels send
and receive MIDI.)
Instrument Name
The Instrument Name field shows the user-defin-
able instrument name for the currently selected in-
strument.
Manufacturer
The Manufacturer pop-up menu provides a list of
MIDI equipment manufacturers. This list is de-
rived from the XML-based MIDI device files.
Model
The Model pop-up menu provides a list of MIDI
devices, filtered by the manufacturer name. This
list is derived from the XML-based MIDI device
files provided with your Pro Tools installation.
Input Port
The Input Port pop-up menu displays a list of
available MIDI interface input ports. The MIDI in-
terface port that is set and displayed here is the port
through which MIDI data is sent from the external
MIDI device specified in the Instrument Name
field into your MIDI interface.
If you do not enter an instrument name, the
Instrument Name field will automatically in-
herit information from the Manufacturer and
Model pop-up menu.

Names” on page 698.
