Hi,
I was using the Miniak Editor with a MacBook, REAPER, and an Akai EIE audio/MIDI interface, and everything was working great. Then I moved to a PC running Windows 10, still using REAPER and the EIE. Now I am getting the message, "Device in use, The selected device is in use by this or another application and cannot be selected," whenever I try to set the the MIDI input or output to the EIE within the editor. This happens even when there are no other applications running and within REAPER no other inputs or outputs are set to the EIE.
My MIDI setup is this:
* MIDI OUT from EIE to MIDI IN of Miniak
* MIDI OUT from Miniak to MIDI IN of EIE
* MIDI THRU from Miniak to MIDI IN of Alesis SR18 (drum machine)
* MIDI IN/OUT to/from Novation MiniNova via separate USB interface
I can see both the EIE and MiniNova interface in the dropdown when I try to select an input/output device from within the editor, but get the aforementioned error message when I try to select the EIE. I can output MIDI from REAPER to the SR18. I can output MIDI to the Miniak, outside of the editor. The Miniak is listening on channel 1 and the SR18 is listening on channel 10.
Is there any way to determine what application is preventing the editor from accessing the device? Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be going on?
Thanks,
Jeff.
