I’m wondering what the status of Bome Universe apps is with relation to the new rollout of Multi-Client MIDI on Windows 11.
I’m still on Win 10, and I’m concerned that going to Win 11 with Multi-Client MIDI will be a major dislocation .
Andrew Mowry (provider of the Warbl controller, which I now am using) wrote on the Warbl forum (notice the boldface section):
Windows 11 now has multi-client MIDI if you have the latest update.
It works perfectly on my machine-- I can have multiple MIDI apps open (including the Config Tool in a browser, or multiple Web MIDI pages in browser tabs) and all connected to the WARBL. They are rolling the update out during the month of March, so if you haven’t received it you should very soon. I believe I received it a little early because I have the ‘Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available’ option turned on in Settings.
When you receive it you’ll just want to make sure you turn off any other helper apps that you’ve been using for routing MIDI. They recommend uninstalling the Korg USB MIDI Driver app if you have that, because it can cause a lot of problems. The Korg BLE MIDI Driver theoretically should still be okay to use, but since you have the WIDI Bud that’s a better option.
The next round of updates should have BLE MIDI support so you won’t need either one.
… hence my concern.
(Aside: we’re currently in Mexico in the middle of a flute workshop - going great, except for the 3-second power outages, which wreck havoc with my rig … using BMT on a laptop, and should have considered using my BomeBox in this setting for a more minimal and reliable setup …)
