Title: Windows 10 Version 1607 and MIDI-OX not working...
Post by FlavioB on Nov 2^nd, 2016, 2:08pm

Hi there.
I've unadvertendly updated to Windows 10 Version 1607 and now MIDI-OX doesn't play well anymore with my two MOTU MIDI Express 128
I rebooted and unplugged/replugged them both: no way to get MIDI out!
Can somebody help?
Presumably the USB mapping has been "recalculated" :-/ I see some data coming in and going out from other ports...
Is there any way to somehow *lock* where Windows sees its MIDI Express 128 units?

Thanks,
Flavio.

OK - I can confirm that Windows "inverted" my #1 unit with #2 - thus my port mappings aren't working anymore.
Any help on this (like *locking* as asked before) will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Flavio.

I have heard of trouble working with multiple MOTU MIDI devices before. The problem is likely with Windows, unfortunately. Windows sometimes will renumber MIDI devices on a reboot or hot-swapping of USB devices.

I certainly hope MOTU names each device uniquely?

One thing you could try is to manually modify the MIDI-OX profile settings in the registry.
* Close MIDI-OX
* Go to:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MIDI-OX\MIDI-OX 32\Profile 1\MIDI Devices"
* Rename value In1 to InX, In2 to In1, then InX to In2 (or wherever the MOTU device is).
* Similarly: Out1 to OutX, Out2 to Out1, OutX to Out2 (or wherever)
* Restart MIDI-OX
