UA Console Related Issue - Solution to Studio One not connecting to MIDI devices

Hello all,

First post here...

I had an annoying journey trying to troubleshoot shoot why Studio One all of a sudden wouldnt connect to any of my MIDI software. I had a bit of a hiatus from music and came back and upgraded a lot of software/firmware. Shortly after, S1 wouldn't find or connect to my MIDI devices. It took a while for me to figure this out, and it appears others are having similar issues with various MIDI devices so I figured I would post this here...

There is an issue with the last UA Console update for Windows. There's an option in Console to use a MIDI controller. The latest UA update has a bug where it latches onto all available MIDI controller even when you don't select a MIDI device in Console's options. Because of this, no other software (ie Studio One) can use these MIDI devices. The problem is due to UA, and not S1. You can uninstall UA and reinstall the older version (PIA but I think it should solve the issue), or go to Task Manager and disable/end the task that UA is using to connect to MIDI devices. I think its called UA Mixer Helper, UA Mixer Engine, or something like that (I'llupdate with the exact name when I'm back at my computer). I have to do this on every PC start up before opening S1.

Hope this helps someone!
