Logic Pro 7.1 – MIDI Setup (2005-0905) 4 of 13
Audio MIDI Setup Utility
The Audio MIDI Setup utility (AMS) provides a very simple user interface with three areas:
1) Tabs: selects either the “Audio
Devices” or “MIDI Devices” setup
window
2) Toolbar: icon based commands
for managing your configuration
3) Graphical MIDI Configuration:
lets you configure the routing of
MIDI Messages between all the
MIDI Devices
What is the purpose of the Graphical MIDI Setup?
Technically you don’t need to do anything in there if you just use a straightforward MIDI Sequencer. Your MIDI application will “see” your MIDI
interface and all its in and out ports if it has the proper driver installed.
If you know that your Keyboard is connected to “MIDI in 1” then you can select that port for recording your MIDI sequences.
If you know what MIDI out ports are connected to what sound module, then you just route your sequencer tracks accordingly.
You only have to use the Graphical MIDI Configuration:
• If you want to utilize the “
Network”
device or the “
IAC Driver”
device
• If you want to create your MIDI setup and use the following advantages
• You have a nice visual overview of your whole MIDI setup
• You can troubleshoot your MIDI setup from inside AMS with its “
Test Setup”
feature
• Logic looks up the “
User created Devices”
and imports their names and connections direct into the Environment.
• You can fine tune the settings for each device in its properties window
How to use the Graphical MIDI Configuration:
:
• MIDI Interface: AMS automatically creates a device for any connected MIDI Interface with a valid driver. It detects when you connect or
disconnect any MIDI interface without the need of a computer restart. If AMS created a Device, which is not longer available
(indicated by a lighter shaded color of the Device) then you can remove it.
• Network: This device lets you configure all the necessary setting for sending and receiving MIDI over the network (new since OSX 10.4).
See below for details
• IAC Driver: The Inter-Application Communication driver is a device which allows MIDI applications to transfer information to each other
2)
• CoreMIDI detects only the MIDI Interfaces through their drivers but it can’t look through your interface and see what MIDI devices you
have hooked up to the MIDI in and out connectors of your MIDI interface. You have to manually add your MIDI devices to the AMS and
connect them to the MIDI Interface with virtual path chords..
A User created Device has its ports (triangle) at the top and the Device name at the bottom
A System created Device has its ports (if any) at the bottom and the Device name on top
You can manage your MIDI configuration with the following commands:
• Create Devices: use the
Add Devices
and
Remove Devices
icons
• Edit Devices: dclick on a Device to open the Property Window with all the available settings for that device
• Connect Devices: create a virtual patch chord by click dragging between the MIDI out ports and MIDI in ports (little Triangles)
