Topic: Only 2 Windows MIDI outputs with 3 Multifaces

Hi,

So, I have 2 Multiface 2s on PCIe cards and one Multiface 1 on a PCI card.

In Cubase, I'm seeing 3 outputs as DirectMusic ports. If I use those, the system seems to get confused as to which one is which when I close Cubase and restart it. I also only seem to be able to get MIDI clock out of one unuit.

Windows MIDI is preferable, but that's only showing 2 units: 2- Multiface MIDI and 3- Multiface MIDI.

They appear to be driving the 2 Multiface 2s on the PCIe cards.

Any idea what's happening here?

Should I be able to control all 3 independently as Windows MIDI ports and send MIDI clock out of all 3 with independent control?

I'm on Windows 8 64 bit, but had had this same problem for quite a while on previous versions of Windows.

Thanks!

No thoughts on this one?

Found and fixed it! It was some strangeness with the "ignoreportfilter" mechanism.

With that file in-place, a new non-emulated port is visible in the list. Maybe Steinberg's mechanism for recognising emulated ports is buggy?

It seems so as this error report comes up from time to time for years now. But the solution is new to me, thanks for the info.
