Ok!!! You can use 2 xp-5 but i have some problems with making my MIDI file. I can not manage to work joggs inthe right way. I tried the orders from the file that already exists in mixvibes but it does not work too. Is there any idea of what i am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot

I understand what you mean but there is a problem. As i told you when i enable the second xp-5 i get the message that i have already said, so i can not edit or open a second MIDI file. So i set both xp-5 in one MIDI file . There is no problem with this, at least for now.
Thanks a lot

Hi sfronti!
Maybee the problem is more related to the xp-5 MIDI driver?
I dont know much about the XP-5 but if you have two of them installed on your system you shouldt have 2 selectable audio devices
(like "EKS XP-5 SERIES Audio 1" and "EKS XP-5 SERIES Audio 2")
right?
Are there also two different MIDI devices
(like "EKS XP-5 SERIES MIDI 1" and "EKS XP-5 SERIES MIDI 2")?
Or do both have the same name? So this couldt cause problems.
May it helps installing a startd MIDI driver for one oh the XP-5s.

Both xp-5 are correctly installed (MIDI and audio devices) and i can see them with different serial numbers.
The problem is not that i can't make them both work, i have made most of the settings that i want..the problems are the joggs.
Althought i tried the file that comes with mixvibes, the joggs are not working right.
Even with only one xp-5 connected the file is not right, at least for the use of joggs
Thanks a lot

No you did't misunderstood..but i managed to set both xp-5 with one MIDI file.
I still get this message, but the xp-5 are correctly intalled because i have tested them with other software. My problem is to set up correctly the joggs. The settings that are including in MIDI file in mixvibes does not work right, at least for me
I will try again this evening with xp-5 'cause yesterday i set up my Dj2 Faderfox.
Thanks a lot for your help
