I have two “MIDIMATE II” MIDI intefaces and was thinking about removing the old 8 port interface and replacing it by USB-hub and several “MIDIMATE II” MIDI interfaces. But here comes the problem. Cubase shows all 4 ports (2 ports per MIDIMATE), but when I name them and close and reopen the project,…

Hi, Do you mean name them in the Device Setup? I would afraid, this is more a driver issue, which cannot distinguish between the two devices correctly. To be honest, to be on the save side, I would recommend you to use one device with more MIDI Ports (4 or 8) instead of using multiple same device…

Maybe worth trying this. [image] Midi device mayhem.......!!!!!!!! You DO have 2 ports (in Device Setup -> MIDI Port Setup) each named after the respective instrument? You DO have 2 devices (in MIDI Device Manager -> Installed Devices) each named after the resp. instrument? But you ca…

I think I remember someone using a workaround with virtual midi ports. Anyhow it would be easier just to get a 4 port that has drivers supporting more units. But I can see the benefits of the MIDIMATE II, the auto detect of the in/out is a neat feature.

The main benefit would be to get rid of 1 HU of rack space. And a little less cabling. I tried a Korg driver. But beside that the Korg driver is Multi-Client, both MIDI interfaces still have the same name. So the only thing would be to use the interfaces without any naming or to buy 4 different USB…

Maybe worth trying this.
