Hi Audiomodern,

I would like to request the ability to Lock the Midi Inputs. I was changing the Midi Inputs and Midi Outputs to start from C1 in settings, and thought that was a Global setting.

I then browsed through the presets and noticed the Midi Inputs are back starting from C3.

When I play Drums from the Keyboard I am used to playing from C1. I like to keep things consistent and orderly, so as not to mess up the workflow.

Can a Midi Input Lock be added!

Thanks 🙂

Hi Studiodbfx,

With our upcoming version we’re utilizing the same system Loopmix has porting over the same multi-functional keyboard which also has the option to change and save the midi input range. Stay tuned!
