An external MIDI input device has a red recording indicator in the MIDI Device Configuration Window, as shown here:

The MIDI Device Configuration Window displays a recording indicator for a given device if there is a check mark for "Is MIDI Input Device" in the Device Properties dialog box for that device. See Specifying Properties of a Device.

When you are actively playing on the MIDI recording device (typically a MIDI keyboard), you will see the recording indicator light up with a bright red color. This is a good way to confirm if Musician is detecting your performance. Note that you can also monitor device recording activity in the Quick MIDI Device Configuration Window.
