Deactivate / Reserve MIDI ports in Logic Pro 8 for NM Editor

[TEMAS]

I'm sure this must have come up before, but I can't find an answer.

I have always had my NM editor running on an entirely separate PC with its own interface so that the editor communication doesn't interfere with Logic's MIDI.

That separate PC and MIDI interface have now both packed up and I would preferably like to just run the NM editor on the same MacPro that Logic 8 is running on.

Does anybody know how to deactivate the MIDI ports in Logic so that I can reserve those ports for the NM editor.

Cheers.
