[motumacman]

with the old MIDI driver things were fine... now with 1.3 ill open DP and it will say the MIDI server has crashed dp can not load and then quit ill then relaunch DP and it will run, It's like hit or miss.. funny thing i also have Logic, so i tested logic and it runs every time.. strange...

Is there any good reason to install this for people who aren't having problems? The download page says "Improved MIDI timing and efficiency". Can anyone hear a difference? I'm wondering if this is just a bug fix for people that are having MIDI related issues.

Wanted to add my experience to the list...

I've been having the stuck MIDI note issues as many others have.

I just installed the 1.3 driver (yes, I forgot to turn off the interfaces before installing).

Upon reboot, my MTPAV (x2) was grayed out in Audio MIDI setup. A rescan did NOT bring it back. Two reboots later and still no joy. Just a single 16 port grayed out MTP.

Solution:
I finally decided to unplug the USB cable while Audio MIDI setup was running. I then plugged it back in and did a rescan. A second MTP showed up. I manually repatched the 39 devices on 12 ports (ugh).

I'm still getting stuck notes. It might be slightly better than before, but it's still happening far too often.

I find 1.3 better, as a matter of fcat, not one stuck note yet. Yes I did have to re-route all my midid devices once. Not a big hassle, for those of you who don;t know, after you create a new MTP and re route, you'll be in a state where you have the out and ins from all your devices going to 2 interfaces, one greyed out (the old one) and one not. No need to worry about the new one being named MTP2. Just erease the grayed out one once you've re created the new interface, all will be fine and the new one will lose it's #2 designation.

In a dazzling display of interface inconsistency, you can't rename the MIDI interface directly from the Audio MIDI Setup application like you can with your devices.

Ray,

I opened Audi MIDI Setup, double-clicked my micro lite icon, and a window opened called "micro lite Properties." I went to the first field called "Device Name" and simply deleted the "#2" at the end. This doesn't work for you? What happens if you double click your MTP/AV icon?
