I assure you that I do understand, but I absolutely *don’t* want to make the ports unavailable to Cubase. And I most definitely *do* want to use MIDI Device Manager. Without MDM I have to remember ports and I have too many to be mucking around like that. Plus once Ctrlr has control of the port I can’t use a second MIDI Track to access the port that Ctrlr has commandeered.
It really doesn’t work for me. I’m happier with the solution I have.
