The above is telling us that this track is receiving MIDI on MIDI track 1 through connection ‘1’ on the Edirol FA66 ‘MIDI IN’ port. With your MIDI interface detected, whenever you make a MIDI connection on a track within Pro Tools, you’ll see a direct reference to your MIDI interface, as seen below:

However, if you’ve installed your MIDI interface correctly with all its drivers (where relevant), then you should find MIDI Studio has already detected your interface. It’s important to note that the only essential element here is that MIDI Studio recognises your MIDI interface – if it doesn’t recognise that interface, then Pro Tools will not be able to use MIDI! However, both applications serve similar purposes first, they should detect any MIDI interfaces connected to your computer, and secondly they allow your computer to recognise MIDI devices connected to that interface, which in this book will be your MPC. This application is completely different in PC and Mac, with the PC version being much more stripped down and basic. The utility in question is ‘ MIDI Studio’ and is accessed from within Pro Tools via ‘ Setup > MIDI > MIDI Studio’. Instead it relies on your computer’s own built-in MIDI software utility to deal with the set up and configuration of MIDI devices, and in turn, Pro Tools communicates directly with that utility. Pro Tools is a little different to some DAWs as it doesn’t directly recognise your MIDI interface or MIDI control devices. This will mean that each MIDI trackyou set up in Pro Tools will be able to display the exact MIDI port and channel your Pro Tools track is connected to.

In this MPC & Pro Tools tutorial taken from my book, ‘ Using the Akai MPC With Pro Tools‘, I’ll be explaining how to set up your MPC as a fully recognised MIDI device within Pro Tools.
