How do I get my MIDI module patch names to show up in Pro Tools?
If you want your patch names to show up in Pro Tools, you will need to use the OMS Names application which is included on your Pro Tools 5.0 Installer CD inside of the Beta/Bug Fix Software folder. It is also available in the downloads section of Digidesign.com. Launch OMS Names. The column on the left will display all of the current devices in your OMS Setup file. Click once to highlight a device and choose “Subscribe”from the Names pull-down menu. Navigate to the Factory Names folder inside your OMS folder (Mac Hard Drive>System Folder>OMS Folder) and locate the profile from list and click Open. Once you have configured the list, click OK. Next time you launch Pro Tools, your patch names (and associated banks) will be available. Please remember that if you make any further changes in your OMS Setup, your patch name subscriptions will be lost and will need to be resubscribed. If a file for your device does not exist, you can create your own patch list using OMS names by selecting the device and choosing New Patch Document from the Names pull-down menu.
