Menu Setup | MIDI Setup
The list shows the available MIDI devices in your system. Select a MIDI device for playback. If none selected the default device will be used (see below).
Selection of MIDI device can be changed while program is active.
MIDI devices can be added (e.g. USB) while program is active, however MIDI devices cannot be removed while program is active.
The selected MIDI device will be memorized from a session to the next session.

In Java "Real Time Sequencer" is the default MIDI device. In Java there is also a "Gervill" MIDI device.
