Description:
Enable reliable identification and reconnection of multiple identical MIDI controllers (e.g. several MC6/MC8 units) without them being randomly swapped by the system. Add clear visual feedback and manual reconnection options.
Problem:
Currently, when using multiple MIDI controllers of the same model, Loopy Pro does not reliably distinguish between them. After reboot or reconnection, the controllers can appear in a random order, breaking assignments. This makes stable setups for live performance difficult or impossible.
Proposed Solution:
– Assign unique IDs or names to each connected MIDI controller
– Store and recall the correct port assignments for each controller
– Automatically reconnect controllers to the correct virtual ports when they’re plugged back in
– If a controller is missing, show a clear indicator (e.g. red label)
– If a controller is connected, show a green label
– Add manual reassignment: dropdown list to manually bind a saved port to an available device
– Optional ‘Reconnect all’ button to match known ports to connected devices
– Allow users to assign permanent user-defined labels to controllers
– Show active connection status in a global list or in MIDI Learn
Benefits:
– Prevents confusion and setup loss when using multiple identical controllers
– Allows robust multi-device setups (e.g. multiple MC6/MC8)
– Improves live reliability – no more guessing or broken mappings
– Faster troubleshooting with visual status feedback (e.g. green for connected, red for not connected)
– Makes Loopy Pro a better solution for complex live and studio MIDI setups
