Why do ports on the mio10 show up 3 times each in iConfig?
I need help understanding the ports on the mio10.
When I'm looking in iConfig, why do all the ports (DIN1, DIN2, etc., HST1, HST2, etc.) show up 3 times each? For example, DIN1 shows up under USB Device Jack 1, USB Device Jack 2, and it shows up at the bottom not grouped under anything.

I switched over to Auracle for X-Series to configure my mio10. There it becomes much clearer...
I just downloaded Auracle. I tried it a few months ago, but it was version 1.0.2 and it wasn't very useful for mio10. I'll check it out again. Thanks!
Physically the device has
USB 1 (USB-B)
USB 2 (USB-B)
Host Port ( USB-A)
Ethernet (RJ45)
DIN 1
DIN 2
DIN 3
DIN 4
DIN 5
DIN 6
DIN 7
DIN 8
DIN 9
DIn 10
Under USB 1 (USB-B connection) you have 16 MIDI ports being transferred in and out.
These ports have a default routing and naming like so ( DIN1, DIN2, DIN3, DIN4, DIN5, DIN6, DIN7, DIN8, DIN9, DIN10, HST1, HST2, HST3, HST4, HST5-10, USB2)
The USB 2 port is the same but the last port goes to USB1 instead.
This is why you see the same ports so many times.
You see the physical DIN ports but you also see the default routing to and from the DIN ports over USB 1 and 2.
Hopefully that's helpful.
The USB connection allows a maximum of 16 MIDI ports (each have 16 channels).
On the mio10 these default to
1- DIN1
2 - DIN2
3 - DIN3
4 - DIN4
5 - DIN5
6 - DIN6
7 - DIN7
8 - DIN8
9 - DIN9
10 - DIN10
11 - HST1
12 - HST2
13 - HST3
14 - HST4
15 - HST 5-10
16 - USB2 OR USB1 (DEPENDING ON USB CONNECTED TO COMPUTER)
Port 15 has routing to/from HST5, HST6, HST7, HST8, HST9, HST10.
If you have these host ports reserved to controllers you can access them separately by putting each controller on a different channel and sending from your DAW to that HST5-10 port on that channel.
