making your own MIDI icons

Post by twistedtom »

The Apple suplyed MIDI icons do not represent all my MIDI devices. How do I add my own icons? Are there alternet sets?

The pictures of your MIDI devices are located in your /Library/Audio/MIDI Devices/Generic/Images folder. You can search the web for the images you like, then create a .tiff image in iPhoto, then put it in that folder.

I'd recommend making the image small. :-)
