Hi everyone,
Following the thread from HERE.
I was wondering how is it actually possible to create virtual ports directly in open stage control without using IAC on Mac ? (Probably a question to you @jean-emmanuel but everyone is more than welcome to answer).
Thank you for your attention !
Yes, simply write
port_name:virtual
instead of
port_name:3,4
That's pretty interesting !
So I set it up as follow:
And on the list of MIDI devices I got the following:
Is it somehow possible to rename midi_out and midi_in by the actual name of the virtual MIDI device I created: my_midi ?
Hmm, it looks like a bug in the osx implementation or something I'm not aware of, this it what should appear:
15: my_midi:midi_out
# port number: device name:port name
What about the other ports, how are they displayed ?
As far as I know the other ports are well displayed (using IAC and some hardware gears).
When I added a second virtual MIDI device midi_out and midi_in appear twice but with different inputs and outputs:
Here are the two virtual MIDI devices:
I'm also starting to think that there must be a bug somewhere 
Well, I assumed the port would be displayed similarly in osx and linux, but it seems I was wrong, I'll change this in next release and use the device name as suggested.
