Hi Everyone,

Wondering if anyone else has had midi controller issues with vMix 22 beta or official release.

A few weeks ago we used vMix beta .46 I think. Everything had been running fine, until one day randomly, our midi controller (Behringer X-Touch Mini) failed to be recognized by vMix. As we were in the middle of a broadcast we could not restart vMix so we made keyboard shortcuts to get through it. When we were able to restart, the controller worked again, but after an hour or so, stopped. After the first time we replaced the USB cable and removed as many USB devices as we could. We also changed the USB port. Other than those 2 broadcasts, it has not happened before or since on that machine or with that controller.

Yesterday, on a completely different system, using vMix 22.0.0.50, the same thing happened again. This time with an XKeys xk-24. It was not disconnected from the system, but vMix just dropped it and stopped responding to shortcuts. We have since made keyboard shortcuts for everything and are a bit insecure in setting midi shortcuts.

In both instances, the controllers were not disconnected, nor did Windows seem to lose connection, unless it was just for a split second. Also, in vMix midi settings, the controllers were still selected and had a checkbox next to it, but when we tried to set shortcuts or test midi signals, vMix would not respond to any key presses from the controllers. Also, the computers were not put to sleep.

Is there any MIDI controller software out there to test what is causing this issue? As we cannot restart vMix at times if the controller randomly stops working during production, is there a way to reset the vMix midi? This has only been a recent issue over the last month or so. I don't know if this is related to a Windows update or something different in vMix 22.

Bump because I've been seeing some quirky behavior with the X-Touch Mini as well. Trying to figure out if it's the X-Touch or vMix or both. I've been wondering if a powered USB hub might help; it seems like the Behringer might be going to "sleep" and vMix doesn't wake it up. Sometimes I have to restart Vmix, sometimes I have to unplug and replug the Behringer.

I've also noticed that the "Behringer"-specific Activator types don't work and I have to use the generic ones (which means I can't make buttons blink, even though it's a function of the device), and I've also found that changing Activators on the device is a bit of a headache because I often have to restart vMix before they take effect.

Totally forgot I wrote this. Found it while looking for a solution to the same issue. This time it is with an XK-124Tbar and possibly an XK24. Didn't notice the reply as well. Will give this a try. Unfortunately it may take weeks/months to find out if it helped. It usually didn't happen too often, but when it did ...urgh. We have since made keyboard shortcuts to be on the safe side. They seem to work all the time.
