Configuration between Starrypad and FreeStyler ?

Dear MIDI-OX comunity, first, thank you for such a nice software.
I would like to use:
- Donner STARRYPAD as a MIDI pad (pads are set to momentary [noteOn pressed, noteOff released], full note Level at 127) https://us.donnermusic.com/products/donner-dpd-16-pad-controller-black
- MIDI-OX to duplicate my STARRYPAD MIDI signals to 2 virtual loopMIDI cables:
1. one cable to Rekordbox DJ
2. second cable to Freestyler DMX
When using STARRYPAD => Freestyler (direct connection), it works fine (ie. it's taking noteOn messages, noteOff msg properly ignored, triggering commands as configured).
When using STARRYPAD => MIDI-OX => loopMIDI => Freestyler, it does not work (ie. it's taking both noteOn+noteOff msgs, immediately disabling the triggered command, and then ignoring the following tap, and then redoing this again)
To make a long story short, I did not succeed in making MIDI-OX replicate (and send to Freestyler) exactly the same MIDI signals/messages as the ones received by my STARRYPAD. Sorry for my lack of precision here, I am not expert enough to explain better.
I've tried everything I could, ranging from with/without filter, with/without mapping (must have tried all possible combination for cloning, using all input values as output, being more specific, ticking/unticking all boxes, delays, etc.), changing buffers.... I simply could not find any way to output from MIDI-OX exactly/identically what my STARRYPAD would send directly to Freestyler 
The problem does not seem to be with loopMIDI since I tried and have the same issue with loopBe1.
If somebody could help me troubleshout and fix this, I would be so greatful!
Please tell me what type of log or additional debugging info I should provide.
Many many thanks

As an additional information, I have just tried Bome's Midi Translator Classic (empty tanslation, just MIDI in -> MIDI out)... it works like a charm. Argh... I wish I could achieve the same with MIDI-OX

Quick update - I've finally managed to make this work!
The solution for FreeStyleDMX was to use MIDI-Yoke as a virtual MIDI cable. This one seem to work great with MIDI-OX (no surprise  ).
I was just facing difficulties installing it under Windows 11. I've managed to install it running the installer in Compatibility mode "with previous Windows versions"...
I am not 100% sure this is stable, since sometimes my FreeStyler just hangs for a few seconds after sending him MIDI commands...
I guess I will have to test longer now.
It also work because FreeStyler is a 32bits app that MIDI-Yoke can talk to.
For Rekordbox, since this is a (quite picky probably) 64bits app, it simply does not see MIDI-Yoke ports as MIDI inputs. For this one, I had to use LoopBe1, a more recent virtual MIDI cable, and the only one that RekordBox is willing to see as an additional MIDI input!
Therefore, my final configuration is :
StarryPAD => MIDI-OX => MIDI-Yoke1 => FreeStylerDMX (on one side), and MIDI-OX => LoopBe1 => Rekordbox (as second MIDI-OX output)
No Filtering, no mapping in MIDI-OX, just a simple 1 input to 2 outputs attachement.
Next step is to test for much longer now!
I hope this might be useful to someone else maybe.
Thanks again for these great MIDI software
