Are there more then the 2 MaxMSP Midi ports?

I think I remember from a demo of an earlier MAXMSP version (I am on 6 now) that you could set the number of virtual midi ports MAX is providing. Now. I can't find that option any more. Do you have to use IAC busses and that sort of other virtual ports or is it still possible to create more in MAX?

use a message:

;
#SM createoutport mycustomportname coremidi

Then, set the port for your midiout/noteout object or what have you to that port.

Hope that helps,
Mike
