Altitude Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thought I'd bring this up since I just took the leap to 10 (from 7) and in the process discovered a couple things. I love the GM5, hands down the best interfaces I've used but under windows 7, using more than one (i use 4), one or several would vanish periodically requiring it to be unplugged and plugged back in. Never found a reason and this was with the 1.1.1 drivers. With win10, I using the default drivers resulted in a naming problem where the name of the device was so long you could not differentiate which interface was which so I came looking and found that there is a 1.3.3 ploytec driver and that works perfectly under 10, no disappearing interface and the names are correct !

Shuriken Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I thought you still had problems with it using the non-ploytec mode. What changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I stopped using the midibox mode :)I cant say if the old drivers still have the disappearing issues on 10 but the naming thing makes it a moot point since having 3 identical "MIDIIN1 ploytec midibridge (www,midibox.or" ports at once doesnt really do me any good. I'm happy with the 1.3.3 drivers, its been over a week and nothing has disappeared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Spoke too soon, same problem. Interfaces still disappear from the midi device list but remain in the device manager :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Windows 10 recognises the SEQ (STM32F1 Core) and its four USB ports but communication over MIDI in MIOS Studio isn't possible. I think it was working fine with Win8. An old Win7 machine works fine and recognises the ports as "GM5 Port 1-4". I can't spend much time fixing this for the next few weeks, but I thought I'd put it out there if somebody already knew of a quick solution.

Altitude Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 hmm. worked fine the other day when I updated my seq 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hmmm... yes, works here, too. Plain windows 10 installation with no additional drivers... also an old STM32F1... can you try to remove the GM5 drivers, if you have them installed?

Altitude Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I don't use the "GM5" drivers, I use the current "midijunction" ones from Ploytec, maybe that has something to do with it Edited January 21, 2016 by Altitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Is there a public source for those drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latigid on Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thanks, seems to be working now after removing device/disabling and other fiddling. The ploytec wouldn't progress past the "connect your device now" without a proper GM5 I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
