Okay ∗now∗ it's beginning to make sense to me :-)
I didn't pick up on it in the previous posts but when you said
"have to use Hubis and another external midi application, which
is a pain in the backside" a little bell went off. We have a similar
situation on the Mac OS with OMS, and FreeMIDI, as they serve a
similar purpose as Hubis (inter application communication and
a shared timing soure amongst other benefits.) It's getting long
in the tooth after having been ignored by 'Gibcode' for so many
years - I've (reluctantly) made a concious effort to move off OMS
when and where possible and have centered everything around
Logic Audio and a multiport MIDI Interface run in MTP Emulation
mode (the next step is a proper Emagic MIDI Interface.)
