appendix c
Configuring MIDI Studio Setup 
(Windows Only)
MIDI Studio Setup
MIDI Studio Setup (MSS) lets you configure the 
MIDI controllers and sound modules that are 
connected to your system, and control the rout-
ing of MIDI data between your MIDI equipment 
and Pro Tools.
MSS automatically finds MIDI interfaces, and 
lets you specify a custom name for each of the 
MIDI ports within the MIDI Studio Setup docu-
ment. 
MSS also supports XML-based patch file names 
for storing and importing patch names for your 
external MIDI devices. 
Entire MIDI Studio Setup configurations created 
within MSS can be imported and exported. 
MIDI Studio Setup Window
The MIDI Studio Setup window is organized 
into three sections. Interface controls are at the 
top of the window. All the currently defined in-
struments are displayed in the Instrument Name 
list on the left side of the window. A detailed 
view of MIDI parameters is shown in the Proper-
ties section on the right.
