Hello Chris C. on other knowledgeable person,
I know the the autoconnect feature for devices has been extensively rewritten
and behaves very sanely in many cases.
Let me set this up so we can have some common reference to work from:
* I connect MIDI equipment before RG startup,
* run RG, then
* load a file such as Stormy rider (set not to load default studio upon file
load).
I see the device manager correctly associates the port of the midi equipment
attached to the single device in the playback list.
This was as expected.
Questions:
* A record device was not connected even though the equipment I attached was a
duplex USB MIDI enabled and detected as such.
Where was the new manager suppose to connect to the record device as well, or
not?
* I also notice that before I loaded Stormy Rider, The base studio (which is
the default created from a fresh install) does not connect playback and record
devices to the USB MIDI device attached.
Was this intentional, or is this a bug?
This is also true if I load Stormy Rider, then use File->New. I am presented
with the default studio and no connections in the device manager are made.
...
What is your take on all of this and are these intended behaviors. I know we
where striving for a "sound out of the box" hoping we would find timidity or
some other device to auto-connect to. But I'm not seeing any connection
attempt on my system. Therefore, the goal of sound will never happen.
Since we are able to auto-connect to playback devices, can we role this out to
connect to a plausible record device "out of the box" (assuming here that
Autoconnect to record device is a feature request, not a bug fix)?
I haven't looked at the code, but I know you have Chris and I'm certain you
could answer and possible correct this faster than anyone.
Sincerely,
Julie S.
