Ports and Connectors:
AMS follows some rules when you create Ports and Connectors in the Properties Window for a User Created Device:
• A MIDI In connector is displayed by a down triangle
• A MIDI Out connector is displayed by an up triangle
• The MIDI In and Out triangles are grouped together for each port
• To create more connectors for a port, select the port and use the up/down button next to the MIDI
number, or type the number in (max number is 8)
• When creating multiple ports, AMS separates the group of triangles for each port with a little space
• AMS displays one number or letter on the Device above or below the triangles if it has more than one
port.
• If the name of the port starts with “
Port
”, then the AMS displays the next letter or number after the Port.
• If the name of the port doesn’t start with
“Port”
, then AMS uses the first letter or number of the name
o “Port A” “A”
o “Port 1” “1”
o “New Port” “N”
Patch info:
When you connect two devices together, then the “i” icon appears on the right corner of
the device. Click on it and a popup menu displays the connections with the name of the
ports
You can also click on a connector and a popup menu displays the name of the connected devices
Note: you can only patch between MIDI Interface Devices and User Created Devices. You can’t make a connection between the MIDI Outs of User
Created Device to the MIDI In of a User Created Device to simulate a MIDI thru connection!
