MIDI:
Both USB and serial MIDI interfaces work effectively with Pro Tools. Digidesign recommends
using a serial MIDI interface, as they offer the tightest possible MIDI timing. Serial MIDI
interfaces require either a Mac serial port or a qualified modem-to-serial port adapter.
Digidesign currently supports the GeeThree Stealth Port for G4 - AGP Video (Sawtooth), Stealth
Port for Dual Processor G4s, or Griffin g4Port installed in the modem port (thereby not using a
PCI slot).
When using the GeeThree products, version 1.0.3 or higher of the Stealth Port extension is
required, available here: http://www.geethree.com/download.html
