Hi. I have a Waldorf Microwave 1 connected to MIDI in/out 2 on the E1. I am using the existing Microwave 1 preset which is by default set to use MIDI port 1 i/o. I have edited the preset device to use MIDI port 2 and sent what I believe is the newly revised preset to the E1. The problem is the the MIDI activity indication is still operating on port 1 when i twiddle the controls. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/electraone/original/2X/6/6422e7ddadcf5dbc10ecc25eeb06fecf14c6e814.png) ---

Can you send me a link to the preset? You do not have to make it public and you can send it as a PM if you wish. It will be easier for me to see what is happening. Thanks! ---

It is this Microwave preset by Nick McCabe. [https://app.electra.one/preset/tEkX5nvcYn6WFYUZhsAB](https://app.electra.one/preset/tEkX5nvcYn6WFYUZhsAB) All I did was try to change it to use MIDI Port 2, as per the screenshot in the first post.
