How to Save Effort if You Rearrange Your MIDI Equipment Often

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

If you have two or more external input and output MIDI devices, then there are a variety of ways that you might physically configure them. Each different way that you physically configure your MIDI devices usually requires a different setup in Composer. Or, more specifically, each different physical configuration requires a different arrangement of MIDI ports and devices in the MIDI Device Configuration Window.

It would be inconvenient if you had to make corresponding changes in the MIDI Device Configuration Window each time you changed the physical arrangement of your MIDI devices. To spare you this inconvenience, Composer enables you to save alternative configurations in the MIDI Device Configuration Window.

The options available to you for managing alternative MIDI device configurations are all offered in the Config menu of the MIDI Device Configuration Window. Commands in the Config menu include: Initialize, New, Clone To, and Select. For details, see Managing Alternative MIDI Device Configurations.
