			<description><![CDATA[<p>After some messing around I found a software-solution that&#039;s working for me. Seems that Pianoteq does accept virtual MIDI-ports, but apparently not all..<br />The combination that works for me is:<br />Virtual MIDI port:<br /><a href="http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html">http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html</a> <br />and as patchbay:<br />midiPatchbay from <a href="https://www.yofiel.com/yofiel/reaktor-instruments">https://www.yofiel.com/yofiel/reaktor-instruments</a><br />Both are free software.</p><p>I still feel a MIDI Thru port inside Pianoteq would be more reliable, but this has become a lot less urgent for me.</p><p>I also looked at USB-splitters, but that seems or costly, or doubtfull. For instance, most simple USB-splitter-cables are only transferring data over 1 USB-out.<br />I did found these very promising gadgets:<br /><a href="https://www.iconnectivity.com/products/midi/mio2">https://www.iconnectivity.com/products/midi/mio2</a> and it&#039;s bigger brothers: <a href="https://www.iconnectivity.com/midi-interfaces-1">https://www.iconnectivity.com/midi-interfaces-1</a></p><p>What I didn&#039;t try but could also be an option: MIDI over WIFI. In Mac OS X this build in, for Windows there is <a href="https://www.nerds.de/en/ipmidi.html">https://www.nerds.de/en/ipmidi.html</a> and maybe more.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks Qexl and groovy for the idea and links!<br />Didn&#039;t think of this solution, probably too much out of thinking about MIDI-cabling ;-)<br />It would probably work, especially with the multi-voltage box.<br />I&#039;m still a bit hesitant about going this way, because of the amount of conversion between USB and MIDI. I will need 4 USB-MIDI interfaces if I go this way.<br />Ideal hardware solution, now I&#039;m thinking about this, would be an USB-splitter-box. Don&#039;t know if they exist, and if so, if they work reliable..</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Heya Marc,</p><p>Interesting setup, would something like a <a href="https://www.tindie.com/products/avrtool/5-way-midi-thru-splitter-unit/">MIDI splitter box</a> work? (they also make 5 way, 20 way boxes etc.) Maybe some appropriate MIDI converter (USB to pins) cables would be required too.</p><p>Keyboard MIDI out to it, then run one output back to your machine, then the other to the other machine, no need for virtual port (maybe with less latency?).</p><p>Not that I have done anything like this, and unless I&#039;m missing something it just seems worth posting in reply, in case it&#039;s good to go.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In some situations it&#039;s very handy to be able to route the MIDI from Pianoteq-standalone elsewhere.<br />As explained by groovy in this thread: <a href="http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic.php?id=6823">http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic.php?id=6823</a> Pianoteq is already capable of passing the MIDI-input to a file.</p><p>Case at hand: I&#039;m playing in a trio, <a href="https://unheardmusicconcepts.com/">Unheard Music Concepts</a>, when we make recordings on location, we&#039;re recording the audio of the bass and sax, and the MIDI of the piano into a DAW.<br />My portable piano only has 1 MIDI out (USB). The cleanest solution to making connections we found would be: FP30-&gt;laptop Windows 10 with Pianoteq --&gt;laptop MIDI over USB out --&gt; USBMIDI-interface --&gt;MIDIcable--&gt; another USBMIDIinterface ---&gt;laptop running the DAW.<br />On a Mac, or on LINUX it would be pretty easy to split/route the MIDI elsewhere, but on W10 I failed to find a solution, it seems Pianoteq is only accepting MIDI-input from an actual hardware-port, not from a virtual MIDIport. </p><p>The workaround we&#039;re using is FP30 -&gt;laptop running DAW, from the DAW MIDI-through -&gt; USBMIDI-interface --&gt;MIDIcable--&gt; another USBMIDIinterface ---&gt;laptop running Pianoteq. This seems just as straightforward, but in practice it&#039;s not. When we we&#039;re trying to do this with Reaper as DAW there was a lot of MIDI-latency when the MIDI arrived at Pianoteq, in the end there wasn&#039;t with Protools.</p><p>Of course another workaround would be just to use Pianoteq as a plugin inside a DAW, but for reasons of simplicity, and because of auto MIDI-recording I prefer to use the standalone version.</p><p>Anyway, it would also be very cool to have a MIDI-output port ;-)</p><p>Of course I&#039;m totally open for suggestions, or if you got Pianoteq accpeting input from a virtual MIDI port on Windows: please let me know, in that case there must be something wrong with my W10.</p>]]></description>
