CONTROL SURFACE SETUP
When configuring control surfaces in the Control Surface
Setup dialog (Setup menu), the Input Port and Output Port
of each device can now be specified independently.
Figure 8: Input and Output Port selection in Control Surface Setup
This provides additional flexibility when making device
connections, and provides compatibility with certain kinds
of hardware and software control surfaces which specify
different ports for input and output.
MIDI DEVICE CONFIGURATION
Menus which display MIDI input or MIDI output
connections now display all ports, even if the port does not
have a connection to a device in Audio MIDI Setup. This
provides quicker configuration of devices which connect
directly to the computer and do not require any further
configuration in Audio MIDI Setup, such as many USB MIDI
controllers.
MIDI ports which do not have a device connected to them
will be listed in the “Unconfigured Ports” sub-menu (see
example Figure 9, below).
