Hi all,

i noticed that the U-Mix Control Pro 2 MIDI driver stops working if opened by more than one software.
Is it possible to make it multi instance capable?


Best regards

Nope.
The UMCP2 doesn't any custom driver. It runs using the system driver, which is not especially multi-instance.

We could in Cross be more permissive and not block the MIDI device till shutdown but we don't want to, as it can lead to unwanted behaviors like: The device needs to receive several messages in a row, but another app break this by sending any other message between some of them.

IMHO, this ain't a good idea...
By the way if you need to access your UMCP2 in another app while Cross is running, you can just uncheck MIDI IN/OUT in the MIDI prefrences, so that Cross releases the device. Checking these boxes back will reconnect the device.

Hi sylMV, guardian of the source code!

Yeah noticed that when trying to customize the device name.
But its ok, can live with it. Just had this suggestion in my mind
