Double connections on Windows

Vaynerix opened this issue · 2 comments

Connecting to a Hardware MIDI Port from 2 different applications has always been a limitation of Windows.
For example "Ableton Push 2 Live Port" will always connect to Ableton Live. This means that you get a connection error if you try to access it. On OSX, this isn't an issue at all.

Is this some safety feature that can be toggled off, so JZZ and Live can talk to the same port?
Or is this one of those things that the MMA needs to fix with MIDI 2.0?

This is a Windows limitation. JZZ honestly tries to open the MIDI port, but if it's taken by another application, it fails.

That's unfortunate. Hopefully they fix this with the next generation of drivers.
Thanks for the reply.
