Hi,
I used rtpMIDI to have a MIDI Keyboard "MK" attached to computer B available on Computer A, too.
I installed Copperlan, just to try it out. I started the Manager on Computer B, went to the Editor Tab in order to switch on the "MK" in the "MIDI to CP interface". I clicked on "on" but nothing happened, the "MK" stayed off...
Of course, the "MK"s MIDI driver is a non-multiclient driver, so only ONE application can open the device at an given time. As rtpMIDI was configured to use the device, the Copperlan Manager could not siwtch on the devive.
Thus, I deactivated the rtpMIDI connection which opened the MK device. The device was closed, as I could open it with another app, like MIDI-OX. I quit MIDI-OX, too, ran the CP Manager and wanted to switch on the "MK" device, but CP still refused to switch it on...
I stopped and restarted the CPVNM service, ran the CP Manager again and was since then able to switch on the "MK" device for "MIDI to CP interface".
A) Now my question: Isn't there a more comfortable way of doing this? Does Copperlan check only once wether a device is available for opening? Some Kind of "Rescan für available devices" would be cool, or an automatic rescan when the user wants to switch on a device...
Or am I doing something completely wrong here?
B) Another question is: How am I supposed to connect the CP Manager on the iPad with my Copperlan?
I have to Computers A and B, hooked to a GB switch via Ethernet, which is connected via Ethernet to a WIFI capable router. The iPad is connected to the Router via WIFI for Internet Access.
The CP Manager on my iPad always shows "No Copperlan" bottom right.
Thank you!
