Trouble Using Sforzando in Windows 11

Post by jfmorales »

Hi,
I just got a new WARBL. I turned it on and used the USB cable to connect it to my Windows 11 PC. In Chrome, I was able to use https://warbl.xyz/configure.html to connect to the WARBL device. Then I ran Sforzando. Under Tools > Preferences > Input MIDI Devices, it lists WARBL USB MIDI(in), but there is no checkmark in the checkbox. I tried clicking the checkbox, and it says "This MIDI device is currently unavailable." I've tried clicking OK, but it never succeeds in enabling WARBL as an input device. What can I do to get around this issue? Thanks!

Windows unfortunately only lets a MIDI device connect to one app at a time, so if you've used the Configuration Tool you'll need to close your browser before you can connect to SForzando. I expect that this is what you're running into here. Just let me know if it doesn't solve the problem, though.

Thanks Andrew, you're right, I had to close Chrome.

FYI, I ran into a different issue when connecting through Bluetooth: WARBL wasn't discovered until I set "Bluetooth devices discovery" to Advanced. But it's working fine now!
