Midi problem

vvvv gamma bug
1

Today vvvv gamma doesnt recognize any midi input! I found out that there was a windows 11 update with midi 2.0 which can make problems. All daws and also midiox work fine but vvvv: no midi

what to do, any ideas?

I am looking forward to a solution, for now I uninstalled the updates and everthing works fine again.

@joreg be aware, as i didnt mentionned it, the midi out is still working ( but needs also to be checked surely). good luck devs !

Hey! Is there any workaround or estimated time when it will be fixed?:)

so to clarify, we have 2 issues:

  1. any of the classic Midi nodes were broken on PCs that got the mentioned windows update. this issue is fixed from version vvvv gamma 7.1-preview 175.
    if you need this to work for any earlier vvvv gamma 6.x or 7.x vvvversion i’m afraid you have to download Sanford.Multimedia.Midi.6.7.1.zip (67.1 KB) and unzip it into your vvvv-installation-folder\packs\dependencies overwriting the existing file with the same name.
  2. the Midi bindings for public channels are broken. this issue still persists as of now.

What a relief to have all my MIDI features restored!

OK so vvvv gamma 7.1-preview 175 should fix this?

If so I can test on my second machine that has the update

update:

  1. we discovered another issue that made classic Midi nodes fail under certain conditions in previews up to 178. this is fixed with vvvv gamma 7.1-preview 185.
  2. the Midi bindings for public channels are broken. this issue still persists as of now.

Here is an article what the ill-fated update is supposed to do, which does indeed sound pretty cool: Making music with MIDI just got a real boost in Windows 11 | Windows Experience Blog

Meanwhile does anyone know what the update was called, so I can uninstall it or is there no real way to do that? The last feature update of Windows 11 I have is 23H2, so it must have been one of the smaller ones.

Also just looked on their dedicated Discord and saw that some fixes from them are coming:

Hopefully those will fix the crashes in vvvv.

@seltzdesign so you’re saying preview 185 still doesn’t fix issues for you? if so which of the two i mention are you talking about? 1) or 2)?

Okay, yes, everything is working again.

The last I read was that there was no solution for 2) yet, so I thought that still wasn’t resolved. But yes, binding works again.

Thanks!
