Installing a MIDI device
There is an important difference between installing a preset MIDI de-
vice and importing a MIDI device setup:
• The presets available in the Install Device dialog do not include any
device mapping of parameters and controls and no graphic panels.
They are simply patchname scripts. When you install a preset MIDI device it is added
to the Installed Devices list.
• A device setup can include device mapping, panels and/or patch infor-
mation.
Device setups are also added to the list of installed devices when imported.
To install a preset MIDI device, proceed as follows:
1. Click the Install Device button.
A dialog appears listing all pre-configured MIDI devices. For now we assume that your
MIDI device is included in this list.
2. Locate and select the device in the list and click OK.
• If your MIDI device isn’t included in the list but is compatible with the
GM (General MIDI) or XG standards, you can select the generic GM
or XG Device options at the top of the list.
When you select one of these options, a name dialog will appear. Enter a name for the
instrument and click OK.
Now the device appears in the Installed Devices list to the left.
3. Make sure that the new device is selected in the list and pull down the
Output pop-up menu.
4. Select the MIDI output that is connected to the device.
5. Select Patch Banks from the pop-up at the top of the window.
