I am using the latest Garritan CFX (full version) standalone player on Windows 10. I am trying to get it work with Kawai CA67 digital piano so that it is always available 24/7 whenever I turn Kawai DP on.
I am having an issue with the MIDI device recognition after piano is turned off and then on again - without exiting Garritan CFX standalone player.
Specifically: The digital piano is connected to the PC via USB cable. When I start Garritan CFX, it recognizes Kawai MIDI device just fine. If I stop playing the piano for 30 minutes, it automatically turns itself off. Sometimes, I also manually turn the piano off. Now, if I turn the piano on after that, Garritan CFX does not recognize the MIDI device. I have to go to Tools -> Preferences and then unselect Kawai MIDI device, select it again and then press OK. After that, it works fine.
The ARIA player (including the version that comes with Garritan CFX) should implement a feature that automatically rescans when new MIDI devices are available - so that the user does not have to explicitly do it.
Note that Pianoteq 6 does not have this issue. I can keep Pianoteq running in the background forever and turn the DP off and on several times and it just works.
