Description

If you connect a control to a MIDI controller and then select "edit connection" again, automatic detection is turned on. The problems with this approach:

  • A stray CC could change the connection to another device, channel and CC.
  • Just opening the dialog will enable the selected channel/CC combo on all devices.
  • There's no way to see which device the control is listening to.

My suggestion is to have automatic detection turned on only if the control isn't already connected.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the MIDI auto detect logic in the connection dialog. Look for where automatic detection is toggled and ensure it only activates when no existing connection is present.
