hello there and sorry for bothering you people

i spent quite some hours already searching for it, and i keep coming to the same problem:

when going to midi preferences, i only get to see 4 input devices and 2 output devices, and i cannot add any more than that .... although in each individual form, i can get to choose from my actual 5 IAC Drivers....

i tried by starting up with the midiindev and midioutdev flags, but to no avail... nothing is different

so, is there an actual limit for the midi devices? (and specifically for the output devices) or am i just doing something wrong? :-/

thanks a lot in advance!

*edited in order to add some specifics

hi larrygus,

do you really need more than 4 midi devices in and 2 midi devices out? I think that you will be able to choose as many devices you installed on your system, whether they are hardware or virtual, like IAC or Maple Midi. Sorry if I am too basic, but you can send at least 16 different Midi channels at the (almost) same time to 16 different MIDI instruments through just one Midi port.
