new Windows MIDI drivers available
We have just released our long-awaited multi-client MIDI drivers for Windows! These are recommended for:
- mio
- mio2
- mio4
- MIDI4+
They should also (partially) work on MIDI1, MIDI2+ and mio10, but those are not yet fully tested. Download from

These drivers are not recommended (and shouldn't be required) for users of our audio interfaces - they may conflict with the audio interface's driver that you already have installed.
If you own any of the devices listed above, please try the new driver and let us know how it's working for you.

So far, I can confirm that this isn't quite ready for prime time on the mio10 (or two of them) under Windows 10 x64 (10.0.15063 N/A Build 15063) as you stated above. Each unit does show up as a correctly-registered and installed device in Device Manager using the iConnectivity 1.0.8.0 driver, but each unit only exposes a single midi port pair (in and out) instead of the 16 pairs expected for each device. I have verified this in the latest versions of MIDI-OX and Bitwig Studio 2 so far, but I can bring up other DAWs/software if you need more data.
Please let me know if I can be of any assistance with respect to testing the mio10 with these new drivers; I have two units and I'd be happy to provide any further data or assist with any interactive testing if that would be useful.
Thanks!

I have noticed an issue regarding iConfig 4.2.6 where I am unable to connect to either of my units after installing the 1.0.9 MIDI drivers. When trying to run iConfig I now get the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred while trying to open a MIDI port. Please refresh to connect device again."
I do not have any other software active or running that would be holding any MIDI ports. Clicking Refresh doesn't do anything, it is unable to detect either unit and the Device Selection window is empty.
Any suggestions? I'm trying to get into iConfig in order to adjust the USB MIDI port routing now that I have
been able to attach a hub and am running some class-compliant devices
(ReMOTE SL 37, Waldorf Blofeld). MIDI communication with these USB devices (on Ports 11-16) works fine, but I want to adjust the routing of the MIDI from the USB ports to go to specific port(s) rather than all ports (which it is currently set to).
Thanks!

If I kill Cubase and power cycle the mio, then it will start normally.
