MIDI device reselect bug?

[dannytaurus]

Does this happen to everyone, or is it particular to my setup?

• I have a USB MIDI controller (Arturia MicroLab) connected to my laptop
• It's checked in the HISE settings, under MIDI settings
• But every time I launch HISE, I have to go to settings and uncheck/recheck for it to work

Curious to know if it's just me or it happens to everyone before I go on a bug hunt!

@dannytaurus yes it's very annoying, the channel selection gets reset too. It's been brought up on the forum in the past, there might be an issue about it on github.

@dannytaurus second nature at this point.

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey @Chazrox Okay, excellent. I just made a fix so I'll create a PR

[David Healey]

@dannytaurus Nice, I look forward to getting this one

@David-Healey Here you go: https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/pull/842

I don't know about the channel resetting bug. Is that the same thing, or tangential?

[David Healey]

@dannytaurus

Hmmm I merged your PR but I'm not noticing a difference in behaviour. Maybe the issue I have is different.

All devices are checked, if I uncheck one, close HISE, and reopen, it's checked again.

And the MIDI channel still resets to All Channels.

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey Ok, I'll look at the channel issue when I get back home. I'm working in Starbu7cks right now and it's too nerdy, even for me, to carry a MIDI controller around with me.

Or is it?

Anyway, the issue I had was, if my MIDI controller was checked in settings then I relaunch HISE, it would still be checked in settings but not responsive until I manually toggled the check box.

The PR fixes this issue for me. Can you confirm that? Or are you seeing different behaviour?

@dannytaurus said in MIDI device reselect bug?:

I can't recreate that issue. They always show checked for me and they always respond.

Could be OS specific...

@David-Healey Interesting. USB MIDI keyboard? Or USB MIDI interface with 5-pin MIDI keyboard attached?

[David Healey]

@dannytaurus USB, mine actually shows up as two separate MIDI devices from the single port. One for note data and one for controller data.

[dannytaurus]

@Chazrox Could you try the PR please? Do you see the same as me, or the same as @David-Healey?

@dannytaurus I find this happens with the audio output as well though certainly less frequently then the MIDI input. Thought I would mention it if you are already poking around in the source code.

@dannytaurus Just my experience, in my case if the device is still on then closing and reopening Hise keeps the connection working. But it's lost when I switching the device off and starting hise again. (haven't tested the PR yet)
