Virtual Port In device Manager.

Hi Florian.

Do you have any idea why my MIDI ports have these numbers? They also change sometimes.

Is that important?

Or, how can I reset that?

BTW: Are you the guy behind the TouchOSC Bridge?

Hi,
these are internal index numbers. Windows has an interesting feature that it does not allow sub devices of the same master device to have the same name in device manager, otherwise they'll inherit the MIDI port name of the other device with the same name -- even, if that other sub device had been deleted before. So just to be on the sure side with the Bome virtual MIDI ports, our driver adds these index numbers. Seems like PreSonus came to the same conclusion?

PS: we're not behind TouchOSC, but they have licensed our virtual MIDI ports "BMIDI".

Seems like PreSonus came to the same conclusion?

GOSH!!! didn't see that ....so this is an ID the system assigns? is not that there are other 80568 drivers installed right?

That's what I thought....I was curious and a bit confused, I had to ask cause I thought somehow MT was creating that device.

No, it's really arbitrary. Our driver adds the index number, which is indeed a counter of port instances ever created. I have no idea what PreSonus is adding to the port name. The most important thing for us is that this number is unique.

Thanks Florian
