[Tip] Missing MIDI device

Postby Marxon on 27 Feb 2014, 21:52

Hi all!

I know this does not affect many user but
maybe its helpful for someone.
If you have a lot of MIDI devices installed on your system or
if using many virtual MIDI ports like MidiYoke or loopMidi,
you may noticed that Cross only shows 8 devices in the MIDI settings and it could happen that your desired one is not listed.
If this happens you can add it manually in the Mixvibes settings file.
It is located under:
C:\Users\"your Username"\AppData\Roaming\MixVibes\MixVibes.settings

Open this file with a texteditor and search the string "midiControllerMapping"
You should find eight entries.
Now choose one which uses a MIDI device you dont want to use in Cross and replace the device name with the one you want to use.
Be sure you use the exact name like your device is shown
in other software. For example my device is called "Crossbox"

So i changed
Code: Select all
  <VALUE name="midiControllerMapping0" val="in:Automap MIDI out:Automap MIDI useIn:1 useOut:1 forced:0 controllerId:14300270"/>

to
Code: Select all
  <VALUE name="midiControllerMapping0" val="in:Crossbox out:Crossbox useIn:1 useOut:1 forced:0 controllerId:14300270"/>


After saving the settings file and starting Cross
your MIDI device should be now available.

Best regards
