Make sure the power and USB cables are connected as in- <br \/>structed. (See &#8220;Connecting Command|8 to <br \/>Pro Tools and Your Computer&#8221; on page 8 of the manual.) <\/p>\n<p>2.  Make sure you have connected any additional <br \/>MIDI keyboards or sound modules to the Com- <br \/>mand|8 5-pin MIDI ports on the back panel. (See <br \/>&#8220;Connecting MIDI Devices&#8221; on page 12 of the manual.) <\/p>\n<p>3.  Make sure you have installed the most recent <br \/>version of Pro Tools and the included Com- <br \/>mand|8 software. (See &#8220;Installing Software for <br \/>Command|8&#8243; on page 9.)<\/p>\n<p>4.

Configure AMS for any devices attached to the <br \/>Command|8 MIDI In and Out ports by connect- <br \/>ing their device icons to the appropriate Com- <br \/>mand|8 ports. <\/p>\n<p>Do not connect any AMS devices to Com- <br \/>mand|8 Port 1.
