skylark Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I posted this in the Apple support forum but got no help so... I'm gonna bug you guys. I was attempting to add a custom icon to my Audio/MIDI Setup collection when I realized they're nowhere to be found. My custom icons are currently being used, so they are somewhere.I can readily locate "/Library/Audio/MIDI Devices/Generic/Images/" but not a folder names "Custom".Spotlight searches have turned up nothing. Ideas anyone? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotlight searches have turned up nothing. It would make sense for your custom images to be in /Users/your username/Library/Audio/MIDI Devices/Custom/Images/ Spotlight won't search that location unless you configure it to do so. J.

Thanks, Jordi... That was close enough to jog my memory. The first thing I tried to check was my user Library folder but when I didn't see one I absentmindedly focused on the SYSTEM Library. The trick was... The user Library folder was HIDDEN. Your tip led me to remember to UN-hide it. Voila! Thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exmachina Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Just getting around to setting up MIDI Studio -- where are people finding their custom icons these days? I'd love to find closer matches to my gear than the included icon set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Have you tried googling for same? Here's one site I gleaned on my first attempt with generic ones. Edited September 26, 2022 by Atlas007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did but as yet haven't had much luck -- there were a few sites like the one you linked to but nothing that really appealed to me. Other links found on dedicated hardware forum sites that initially looked promising no longer work and are absent from the internet archive. I guess I hoped to find a repository of icons maintained by Synth manufacturers specifically for Audio MIDI Setup, and failing that, a community driven archive. Seems odd to me that AMS has select menus for manufacturer/model but which are unpopulated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which specific model(s) or brand(s) are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The generic single and double-space rack gear works for my synth modules, and a few of the synth keyboards work fine for everything except my Juno 106, would be nice to have an Octapad icon instead of the drum machine generic I'm using now. Making do with another MIDI interface icon for my Roland MPU-101 MIDI>CV adaptor. If I were really being anal about this I'd craft my own icons, but it only sounded like fun for about five minutes.
