I did some experiments with fake devices (a patch receiving from a midi bus dropped into the devices area of a rack).
If the real midi input devices are removed, you can actually midi learn from the fake devices but they have no real device behind them
and the the wkp file they are stored as
Tdevice name =
instead if something like Tdevice name=FOCUSRITE USB MIDI
If you learn from another fake device in the same way, it is also stored without a name so they are really clones of each other,
both with device name of "nothing", and both sliders move together.
But in principle if there was a way to give the fake device a fake external device name, this could be supported by Usine.
Note - the input device patch as seen in the devices section may be called "IN FOCUSRITE USB MIDI" but the real
device behind it is called "FOCUSRITE USB MIDI" - they are not the same thing.
If the midi was sent out and looped back in via a virtual midi cable, of course this would work, since then there is a real midi device.
Interesting anyway.Statistics: Posted by sm_jamieson — 29 Apr 2026, 03:19
