    Hi guys/gals... hope you can help me with my small problem...

    So, I upgraded to sx2. Everything is great, except one thing. I have a
    midiman usb midisport 2x2 device, which in the new cubase is only shown as a
    [emulated] midi input. (What is emulated input anyway?) In the older version
    (sx1) were also emulated inputs, but next to non-[emulated], basically the
    ones I used. It wouldn't be a problem if it worked fine, but if I record
    with it, it puts notes like 3/4 before they were played. This is not good.
    So anyone, please help, I dunno what to do...

    MIDI port filter - Important note regarding MIDI Interfaces

    =======================================================
    Cubase SX / SL version 1.02 or higher has a function to filter out
    redundant MIDI ports provided by the MIDI interface driver. For
    instance if the MIDI interface driver installs both Windows MIDI ports
    and DirectMusic ports, these ports used to both show up in former
    Cubase SX / SL versions. Since DirectMusic mirrors the Windows MIDI
    ports as "emulated" DirectMusic ports by itself, it was possible that
    the MIDI ports showed up even 3 times in the MIDI device list in
    Cubase SX / SL. These multiple appearances of the MIDI ports were
    actually "multiple versions" of the same physical MIDI port.

    To avoid this, Cubase SX / SL 1.02 and higher provides an option to
    remove these redundant entries utilizing the MIDI port filter.
    However, in some cases the non-filtered, left over MIDI ports that
    will show up in the MIDI device list of Cubase SX / SL can be the ones
    that actually do not work as the MIDI interface driver doesn't support
    the DirectMusic architecture as Cubase SX / SL would expect.

    These cases were for example found with the following MIDI Interfaces:

    - MIDIMAN MIDIsport 8x8
    - MOTU MIDITimepieceAV
    -And OTHERS as well

    In this case, you can re-enable the filtered MIDI ports by proceeding
    as follows:

    - Browse to the Cubase SX / SL application folder (usually
    C:\programs\steinberg\cubasesx)
    and locate the folder "MIDI Port Enabler"
    - Open this folder
    - Pick the file "ignoreportfilter" and move it into the Cubase SX / SL
    application folder (one directory up)
    - Start Cubase SX / SL

    Now all available MIDI ports provided by the MIDI interface driver
    will appear in the MIDI device list of Cubase SX / SL. Please be aware
    that the MIDI ports now can show up 2 or 3 times in the list. If
    you're used to manage your MIDI IN by setting "All MIDI Inputs" in the
    MIDI IN selector, you should go to the Device Setup/All MIDI Inputs
    and disable the unwanted ports. Otherwise you will record MIDI from
    multiple ports which results in double MIDI notes.

    ==========================================================

    In addition to the above text from Steinberg.

    After doing this:

    Go to Device Setup/DirectMusic and select "NO" for all ports.

    Now there will be no (emulated) ports visible.
