Not to seem impatient, but I did want to dive into actually using this $49 purchase right away and I was hoping that someone here could maybe give me some areas to investigate as to why (after two installs) no virtual midi ports from the daemon are showing up here on Vista 32. Without those showing up it's useless to me.

Thanks to anyone in advance to anyone here who can at least suggest a path to investigate. I'll wait a day or so and see if any of the moderators or developers respond (assuming they're active here, dunno being new) with troubleshooting tips. I've searched the forum and Google or a couple of hours with no luck.

Thanks.
You won't see a daemon in on Vista as it is. You have to have something else installed such as MidiYoke or LoopMidi to act as a virtual midi connection, the daemon connects to that. I use MidiYoke, even though it is old, it works okay.

LoopMidi is one virtual midi port, but could possibly be enough. You can buy an upgrade to get something like 30 ports with 64 bit compatibility as well.

Look here and try one then post your results:

MIDIYoke:

The download link you'll use is NT 1.75 first link well down the page.

LoopMidi (he also has a program rtpMidi that is capable of sharing midi connections between computers on a network, I use that to sync two computers and one or two ios devices)

LoopBe1 (this has a purchase option for more than one connection)
