Pro Tools 6.4 Le & Patch Names, Seeing patch names in PT 6.4 LE Options

[Jazzvox]

I want to know if anyone has had any luck getting PT 6.4 to show the patch names for their keyboard/midi controller
.
I am using a Roalnd XP-80 keyboard and I cannot get PT to show any of the patch names.

Each time I try and change the patch list I get numbers and it says no patch list selected.

If anyone has any solutions I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thanks a million...

It goes like this...

First, make sure you have added your MIDI device, and connected it to your MIDI interface, in the "Audio MIDI Setup" .app . When you add the device, make sure to define the Manufacturer and Model (hopefully your synth or module shows in there) and drag the In/Out connections to the icon for your MIDI interface.

Make sure the midnam file is located in:
/Library/Audio/MIDI Patch Names/Digidesign/[manufaturer name ]/
(if you have a popular device, chances are it will already be there)

Now, when you create a new MIDI track in ProTools LE, your device will show up as a choice in the MIDI output section of the track.

Select that device for your output of the track, now when you click the program change button on the bottom of the MIDI track... Viola! There are your patch names, banks and programs, nice. You can now change instruments in your sound module from PTLE. I use this w/ my Groovebox and it works ace.

... Now if someone could just tell Me, the same thing for Logic Express.

Cheers,
