Hello everyone.

I have a very troblesome issue.
I use two computer with rtp midi.
and I have a lot of midi port more than 40.
problem is everytime I reboot port number is changed.
(restart is fine. only happening after 'reboot')
So I have to reconfighure midi port. (more than 40 haha)

Is it happening because of too many port or is there any solution?

Any idea would be great

Thank you
Have a nice day!

Open stage control's midi config supports selecting ports by name:

input / output can be port numbers or strings (as reported by the list action). If a string is specified, the first port whose name contains the string will be used (comparison is case-insensitive).
(MIDI configuration - Open Stage Control)

For instance instead of writing

a:1,1

you'd write

a:portname,portname

or if the name contains white spaces

"a:port name,port name"

Thank you for reply jean
I reduced midi port to around 20
and I tried you suggestion

like....
AMic_Slave:-1,AMic_Slave

but after reboot, AMic_Slave connected to other midi port
(Console displayed correct midi port)
So It's changed.
Am I did something wrong?

Thank you

I tried to delete it. But it keeps regenerated.
