Default Re: Using 3rd Party MIDI Patch Name files in Pro Tools

"MIDI server patch file, bank, mode information not available for this MIDI instrument."

Ever seen this before when trying to assign MIDI Patch names? Ever wasted an hour and a half trying to fix it? Don't bother, do this.


Make a note of all your Devices, their connection, settings etc... in Audio MIDI Setup because you are about to lose them by trashing the pref files


Delete these two Audio MIDI Setup preference files

"User"/Library/Preference/ByHost/com.apple.MIDI.000a95732738.plist
"User"/Library/Preference/com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist

Rebuild your Audio MIDI Setup config.

OK we're in the home stretch.

1 - Be certain that the device name and model match it's respective xml file and it's listing in the Digidesign Device List.middev

2 - Because a New PT install/update will write over your User/Library/Audio/MIDI Patch Names/Digidesign/ folder (thus losing your custom .midnam's) put the .midnam files you use in your Digi Application folder, and open THEM from PT, instead of the .midnam's in the User/Library/Audio/MIDI Patch Names/Digidesign/.
