Tell DP to always ignore MIDI input from specific device?

Post by doctormelodious »

Is there a way to tell DP to ignore all MIDI input from a specific device? I use the buttons and knobs on my EDIROL PCR-1 to control the Fireface Mixer app. I do not use the keyboard part at all. Some of my VIs in DP are responding to those knob turns and button twists which are not meant for them. I know I can use the Filter in DP to weed these things out on a per controller basis, but it would be so much easier to just disable the entire device.

I'm looking through the index in the DP7 manual, but I don't see anything promising. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Use Multi-record mode to choose a single MIDI source for each record enabled MIDI track.
