    I have a request for the performance tool. It would be nice if it didn't mess up the midi in port settings on giga's second port every single time you boot up.

    Everyday, actually several times a day, I have to start with booting giga first, then go to the settings/hardware routing tab, change the 2nd bank of midi in port from <none> to 2-miditerminal 4140 EWDM (my midibox) and then finally open the performance tool.
    If I don't do it this way everytime, on any of my machines, I can't get the second bank to work. The third and fourth bank remain active on the same settings, as 3 and 4 respectively. It's just the second bank, and the first bank remains on <none> as it should for use with the performance tool.

    It's not a major bug by any means, but it sure is getting anoying - day in, day out, every freaking day, constantly having to change this setting because it won't stay on it's own.
    I never had this problem prior to the performance tool.
    Is there anyway to fix this?

    tripit, there have been some requests for having the performance tool remembering it's midi-settings, but as you describe it looks as if gigastudio doesn't remember the settings of port 2. probably there is an other application accessing port 2 so gigastudio cannot open it?

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Thanks Christian,
    The thing is Gigastudio always remembered the settings before. I never had to reset it, at least up until the day I installed the performance tool. Since then, I've always had this problem, and it's not only on one machine, but all three machines that I have. Extact same problem.

    And so you know, I can open that port in giga, just as long as performance tool is not running. And the perfomance tool is the only other application that uses any of the ports besides giga. Once the performance tool is running, I can not have access to port 2. I get a message stating that another application is using that port and as far as I know, the performance tool doesn't even use port 2, it's only accessing port one.
    It's defintely somehow related to the performance tool. Once I unistalled the performance tool in one of the machines, and giga remembered all the port settings and everything was back to normal. I reinstalled the performance tool and the problem was back.

    I'm running Win98SE on all three machines. No other midi or audio apps are being used. All three have the same midi interface - the egosys miditerminal 4140. with four midi channels - one for each port.

    I too have had the exact same problem with port 2 and the Performance tool. Interestingly, I am also using the Egosys 4140 with a W98 machine. Maybe the 4140 driver that is conflicting with the Performance tool.
