Pro Tools is capable of both importing and exporting standard MIDI files. That's not your problem. Your problem is that you need a General MIDI Instrument. If you have a MIDI module capable of General MIDI, no problem. Hook it up to Pro Tools and you're done. If you don't have a GM synth, there are probably some GM synths in virtual form. Others might be able to suggest some.
