can rename your MIDI ports to more descriptive names.

2. In the Devices list, select MIDI Port Setup.
The available MIDI inputs and outputs are listed. On Windows, the device to choose depends
on your system.
3. Click in the Show As column and type in a new name.
4. Click OK.
RESULT
The new port names appear on the Input Routing and Output Routing pop-up menus.
Setting the MIDI Input
In the Inspector, you set the MIDI input for the track.
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, select the track to which you want to assign a MIDI input.

input.
The available inputs depend on the type of MIDI interface that you are using. If you hold
down Shift - Alt/Opt , the selected MIDI input is used for all selected MIDI tracks.

by your MIDI instrument.
