i don´t know if this is a bug but i have big problems when using MIDI in the latest Beta.
for example: i use a ESI M8u Midi Interface with 8ins and 8outs. if i try only to select a few ins/outs
at the same time synthmaker crashes and i get a "working in background" mouse cursor but i can´t kill the process!
Only reboot solves the problem. some of my modules (like my midi router that used to work in the past!) bring me the same crash. can someone confirm this bug? before i had these crashes everything has worked fine...

hey guys,
i still have big problems with midi out and it makes me go crazy!
i´m using the latest beta (1.1.3 beta6) and,
as said in the post above , a ESI M8U Midi Terminal.
in the past synthmaker crashed when i tried to select multiple outputs together,
but NOW i can´t even drag the midi out component into my project!
if i do this synthmaker crashes like i described in the post above, so
i get a "working in background" mouse cursor but i can´t kill the process...
with midi In everything works fine. has somebody ever had the same problem?
or is it perhaps a problem with my Midi terminal? 😕

after some test i found out that it crashes only when my midi terminal is in USB mode, if i select
THRU mode then i can drag the midi out module into my schematic and after that i can switch to USB mode
again and it works. seems like my problem is solved,but if somebody has an idea WHY it crashes when i try
to add the midi out module in USB mode please let me know! 😉

Hi phil,
have USB Soundcard plus USB Controller connected and in use...
Even if other Progs use the same Midi-In-Outs i've no probs within SM or with exe's at all
maybe it's an interrupt problem in your config? ...or the driver?

That is confirmed, I noticed when switching ports, or enabling extra ports, and disconnecting/reconnecting my USB master keyboard causes a crash that I can replicate every time. I notifed Malc about it so he knows about the problem.

hey am and sunsynth thx a lot for your replies!
good to know that malc allready knows the problem. and good to know that is not a problem with my hardware.
okay, for me it isn´t longer a problem because i have this work around with the switch/switch back now,
but it is really annoying to do this connect/reconnect stuff sometimes.... 😠

I had a similar problem on some version (some beta perhaps) but it got fixed on the next update before i managed to investigate it or report it. I have a Midimans 8x8 usb-interface. It's working perfectly now.
There is one odd thing with my interface tho(not SM related). It doesn't start the midi ports fast enough, so when i open any program that uses them(not just SM), they sometimes won't show up at all. As a fix I've made an SM executable that opens up all the ports. I usually have to restart it a couple of times until the midi ports get initialized properly. After that i can open any application that uses midi and everything works as it should(it's a multi-client driver).
Just thought i should share this if anyone has similar problems 🙂
