Connecting MIDI Keyboard to Pro Tools 11 (MIDI Studio Not The Same)

[Diobility]

Hello All,

So, I've had Pro Tools 11 since it came out and after installing it, I had no use for using any physical keyboards since I do most of my MIDI work on Logic Pro X. Because of a class I'm taking, I am now working with MIDI in Pro Tools (11) and I haven't been able to get my Yamaha MM8 keyboard or my M-Audio Axiom Mini Air 32 keyboard to work with Pro Tools at all. I know they both work, because Logic Pro X is able to pick up both keyboards with no issues and my MacBook Pro is able to pick them up in general.

Brief Info about what I'm using.
- Pro Tools 11
- MacBook Pro
- OSX 10.9
- Yamaha MM8 Keyboard (USB)
- M-Audio Axiom Mini Air32 Keyboard (USB)

My problem is, the solutions always involve going to the MIDI Studio via Pro Tools (or via Spotlight). The problem is that whenever I see tutorials about it, the MIDI studio would look something like this...



However, whenever I select Midi Studio via Pro Tools, I would always get Audio MIDI Setup...



At this point I am lost and don't know where else to check, since almost every forum & FAQ information I find always says to go to the MIDI Studio. I would love to get a straight answer about this, because it seems that no one knows about this particular issue and it's very frustrating to find no real answer online, since Pro Tools just came out. Definitely not the convenient operation as most online answers offer to connect the keyboard.

With the AMS open, go to Window (menu) > Show MIDI window.
