happened very often now: opening a midi in/out device with the "midi in/out SELECT" is ok, but when i then delete the component, the midi device is left open and i cannot access it until i close SM.

If you deselect any MIDI devices before deleting the component is everything fine?

it does not happen with the normal "midi in/out" module! only with "midi in/out select".

there is no problem when i delete the midi in/out select component itself, but when it's in a module and you delete the module.

try the following steps: spawn a new instance of the midi in select module and attach an integer to the index connector and select the number of an external midi device. also attach an int to the "currently selected device" out connector. it now should read the same number as on the input. now select the midi module and make a module of it only. the first problematic thing is that now the int at the output jumps to -1, by generating a module the midi device has been lost. fix this by resetting the int at the input to the same number again. now delete the module with the midi component in it. now the midi device is left open, you can check by spawning a normal midi in module and you'll see that the device can't be selected until you close and open SM again.

Ah ok, thanks for the extra info. I'll give that a try.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
