On both macOS and Windows, it is not possible to connect the same Modal device to MODALplugin and MODALapp simultaneously. Therefore if the Modal device is already connected to MODALapp then it will not appear in MODALplugin.
If the device is already connected to MODALapp, please do one of the following:
- In MODALapp right-click on the tab of the device you are trying to connect to, and select ‘Disconnect’ (requires MODALapp version 2.0.5 or above)
- Close MODALapp
On both macOS and Windows, it is not possible to connect the same Modal device to multiple instances of MODALplugin simultaneously. Therefore if the Modal device is already connected to another instance of MODALplugin then it will not appear the new instance.
If the device is already connected to another instance of MODALplugin, please do one of the following:
- In the other MODALplugin instance disconnect from the device by selecting ‘None’ in the ‘Device’ drop down menu
- Close / remove the other MODALplugin instance
On Windows only, this may be because the device is already connected to the host DAW or another MIDI application. The most common Windows class-compliant MIDI drivers only allow a single application to connect to a MIDI device (such as a Modal device) at any time, therefore please disconnect the device from your host DAW (e.g. from the DAWs MIDI preferences) or any other MIDI applications before attempting to select the device from MODALplugin.
