Can this work ? because in the podium guide, it says that podium detects mackie compatible control surface : can a virtual midi port be detected as a valid mackie compatible control surface ? If not, maybe it’s easy to have a button that tell Podium that this virtual midi port is a mackie compatible control surface…
Hmm, do you see what I mean ?

For my knowledge, can someone explain me why mackie compatible control surfaces are listed in the midi-out in Podium ?

Currently, Podium requires that a connected Mackie device responds to identity requests sent out on a MIDI out port. That’s why you have the Mackie option on the MIDI output port, since Podium will automatically link this to an input port when the Mackie device responds. Not all Mackie emulation devices responds to this identity request, so in a future update I’m going to make an option where you manually can select paired MIDI input/output ports, so that you can use all Mackie emulation devices.
