On macOS, which application is used to configure MIDI devices for Pro Tools?

• A. Audio MIDI Setup
• B. MIDI Studio Setup
• C. Pro Tools I/O Setup
• D. System Preferences

Answer: (A)

MIDI devices are configured at the system level with Audio MIDI Setup. This macOS utility manages Core MIDI devices, ports, and aggregate devices, and is the place you set up how hardware appears to the entire system. Pro Tools relies on that Core MIDI configuration for MIDI input and output, so the devices you configure here become available inside Pro Tools. Pro Tools’ own I/O Setup handles audio interfaces and routing within the DAW, not the system’s MIDI device configuration. System Preferences isn’t used for MIDI hardware, and MIDI Studio Setup is simply a part of Audio MIDI Setup rather than a separate application.
