MIDI DEVICES QUESTION

[Steven Gerard]

When I go into preferences,  midi devices, I used to see the following in inputs and ouputs:

Focusrite USB-MIDI.                                                             TD-17

Now I see:

2 - Focusrite USB-MIDI.                                                      2 - TD-17

These are my audio interface and e drums.

Everything is working fine but I'm just wondering what this means.

Thank you.

This can happen if you changed the USB port from the one you plugged the device into originally.  Windows associates the driver with the original port, and gives this a new name because it's now in a different port.

Yep, that's exactly what happened.   I needed to move things around to temporarily accommodate a usb sd card reader to download the latest update for my Roland td-17kvx v drums.  And I did learn to power up the drums and my Korg M50 before starting up Cakewalk.  Thanks for replying.
