Title: Midi Yoke stopped working in Windows 10 32 bit DAW
Post by swayzak on Aug 5^th, 2021, 4:06pm

Hello

All the Yoke ports have disappeared - but Yoke control panel is still present in windows Control Panel.

I have tried repairing, then uninstalling & reinstalling, but to no avail.

Any ideas what's gone wrong ?

It has been working fine for years ....

Hi
my first question would be 'What has changed?'
Win 10 updated ?
DAW updated ? (What is the DAW?)

Win 10 added a whole rewrite of Midi stuff.
Not many DAW's decided to spend the many hours needed to the re-coding.
This is also true of MidiOx /MidiYoke

Cakewalk did.
Reaper, I believe, didn't.
Perhaps Cubase has now ?

You might be able to get around this by using loopMidi instead.

All the best
Royce

Thanks

Real shame as I've loved working with Midiox / yoke, and it has been a fundamental part of my 32 bit DAW (I also have a 64 bit Win 10 partition which doesn't use yoke/ox).

I keep the 32 bit win 10 for some hardware reasons.

Does Loop midi work in a similar way to yoke ?

Can I just change the ports I've setup in several Midiox instances (which load at start up) from yoke to loopmidi ports ?

loopMidi works just like MidiYoke.
I use both. You should be fine to just swap over things.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks - so far so good (have replaced the yoke ports with loopmidi ports in the MidiOx profiles, and things are working again).
