They work even with WATCHPAX? Any side effects?

Hello, I have a WATHCOUT Display with 4 mDP Outputs, I use 4mDP to DVI adapters but I'm not very satisfied with them because they are very short and al the weight of the cable tends to wear the adapter so I am looking for longer adapters to avoid using these adapters that are like a time bomb. Can anyone suggest an alternative?

I understand what is happening, but the big problem is that if I'm using multiple devices I need to uninstall or disable them all to use only one hardware input from USB, if what I need to do is coming from hardware... but I'd like to know how other people in this forum has achieved to use TouchOSC with its bridge which is a virtual port, I hope with a software trick, because I'm afraid that even in this case the only solution was to have only this port on the entire system...

Then I hope that with the new MIDI API in Win 10 things will get better... In the meantime I've read in this forum of people using TouchOSC with its bridge with Watchout, but I don't get how is setup. In windows 8.1 I get MIDI into Watchout only from the first MIDI port input sorted in alphabetical order, then what I need to do to get MIDI input from TouchOSC? Remove all the other MIDI devices so that TouchOSC Bridge becomes the first and only device?

I don't know if other users agree with me, but I think that since 1983 MIDI devices have evolved and now interfaces not written in the MIDI standard are common such as MIDI over USB, MIDI over ethernet, Bluetooth etc... And I think that the real nonsense is to blindly adhere to a thirty years old standard constraining people to add unnecessary hardware to their rig adding unneeded complexity. In 2015 the exception is a MIDI implementation like the one found inside Watchout, not the other way around. Because the vast majority of software that uses MIDI allows the user to fully enjoy the power of new interfaces and this is the first software recently released supporting MIDI and not allowing to choose which MIDI ports to use and I hope that the developers will improve it because it's a really basic MIDI option that the user needs.

I was afraid that external hardware was needed... Wouldn't be easier to allow users to choose which Windows MIDI ports to use so all this could be achieved without adding external hardware? I don't understand why MIDI is implemented this way

Hello, I've read various topics on this subject but haven't found an answer to my problem. I use Lemur on the iPad and I have a MIDI hardware controller. How can I use both? I have seen that Watchout recognizes only the first MIDI port in Windows, there's a way to send all the messages on the same port or I need to buy an interface to wire everything on a single port to use it inside Watchout?
