Comment 1 for bug 309318

My PortMidi stuff lists the devices as:
[system device index (unique)]. [device name]

eg. "1. Akai MPD24"

... which makes them all unique. Will this solve the problem? (I'm not
quite sure I understand what you mean by channel - do you mean midi
channel?)

If you had two SCS.3d's hooked up, they'd look like:
"1. Stanton SCS 3.d"
"2. Stanton SCS 3.d"

Thanks,
Albert
