OK! So I have upgraded to Lion with a clean install and have had problems with the Midi I/O duplicates as usual. I have determined that the duplicates occur for me when switching between apps such as PT, Logic, Live and Reason. Today, instead of rebooting, I decided to launch the AMS and just drag my connections over to the new duplicate "Midi I/O 2". I use all 10 ports for all my gear and I was feeling lazy ... so I tried connecting my midi devices to both Midi I/Os. The AMS allowed it and it works!!!!!!!!! So all my devices are connected to 2 duplicate Midi I/Os at the same time. The virtual cables are all over the place like a spiderweb. So far, I can switch back and forth as much as I want without loosing the connection to the Midi I/O!!!!
