Default Re: Do you really have to completely restart Pro Tools when connecting a MIDI control

I've run into this quite a bit actually. Its as if PT doesn't see the ports activated when a device is turned on after its been launched. I've also had occasions where a full reboot has been the only solution. I categorize it as a "Go Figya" So my solution has been to have ALL external devices powered up BEFORE I boot and the issue never comes up. :)

Default Re: Do you really have to completely restart Pro Tools when connecting a MIDI control

Not the same as your problem but on my Windows 10 machine I have several midi devices connected either through a USB hub or directly to the computer itself. I have an LPK25, an MPC Ren (I don't use anymore), Maschine Studio, NI S49, Antelope Trinity, Akai Advance 61, Grace Design M905 and the M-Audio 2x2 Anniversary Edition Midi box. Besides the Trinity not connecting during boot up every know and then, the M-Audio 2x2 will do something weird where it will show up in the Device Manager but it will not allow any Midi device connected to it to show up as a usable device be it Pro Tools, Studio One 3, Reaper or FL Studio. For some reason if I connect the M-Audio directly to the computer and not via a sub hub it won't work no matter what I do. When it's connected via the usb hub it normally operates correctly but every so often I have to run the M-Audio installer, select uninstall and run it, after the uninstall process has completed re-boot my cpu and after re-boot run the installer to reinstall the drivers and I'm all set again. I use the M-Audio for the plugin that allows me to control my 2 Bricasti M7's in Pro Tools, Studio One 3 and Reaper via midi. The times I have to do this I do not have to re-boot my computer for Pro Tools to see my M-Audio 2x2 midi device. This just has to be done before I launch PT and everything is good. What I did find out was that some midi devices will only work through my usb hub which is puzzling to me. The Trinity is hit or miss through the same hub as the M-Audio (with or without the M-Audio Connected) but about 98% or the time it just works when connected directly to the computer's usb port and when the Trinity doesn't connect correctly I usually just turn it off and on again then I'm all set.

Wow! Sounds like you need to have a ProTools start-up checklist longer than the astronauts have to launch into space.

I know it sounds like a lot, but usually when I boot up everything works fine....but if something is wrong at least I know where to start as well as a solution.

Default Re: Do you really have to completely restart Pro Tools when connecting a MIDI control

In September 2016, Windows 10 added the ability to detect MIDI device arrival/removal:

MIDI Enhancements in Windows 10
https://blogs.windows.com/buildingap...zXwyeWwTp7Q.97

It looks like Cakewalk is already taking advantage of this. I hope Avid will take advantage of this as well. Having to restart your DAW to plug in a keyboard is a bit silly. I know some people just have them permanently plugged in, but not everyone has a setup where this is feasible.

I'm bumping this as this has not been implemented in Pro Tools yet. Don't know why???
It would be great to have this work on Windows.
