Show Duplicate Emulated Ports When this op-

face that supports timestamping (such as MIDI 
I/O), in addition to the MIDI ports on Mbox 2, 
the MIDI Studio setup window shows both the 
DirectMusic time-stamped output ports, and 
non-stamped duplicate emulated output ports. 
Instrument List
The Instrument list contains all the currently 
defined 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 se-
lected in the Instrument list.
When a previously defined instrument is se-
lected in the Instrument list, the Properties sec-
tion changes to reflect the properties of the se-
lected instrument.
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, 
select None.
5 From the Input pop-up menu, select the input 
port on your MIDI interface that is connected to 
the MIDI Out of your instrument.
Some MIDI Interfaces will not properly load 
or unload their drivers unless you quit and 
re-launch Pro Tools. Check the documenta-
tion that came with your MIDI interface for 
more information.
MIDI Studio Setup Properties section
If you do not enter an instrument name, the 
Instrument Name field will automatically 
inherit information from the Manufacturer 
and Model pop-up menu.
