Multiple instances of MIOS studio possible?

MIDIbox Tools & MIOS Studio
1

Hello!

 

I’m working on a two-core project and I was trying some debugging today.  But am I correct to assume I can run only one instance of MIOS Studio (ie on OXS10.9.2) at a time? 

 

I tried to have the cores talk to one another via Midi 4 and monitor their conversation in Mios Studio.

 

Any clues or suggestions will be appreciated, thank you!

Yes, it’s possible to run multiple instances.

 

There are two solutions:

 

  1. just duplicate the MIOS_Studio.app, and call it “MIOS_Studio Second.app”

 

  1. call the application from the command line (I prefer this way).

 

E.g. added following aliases to my ~/.batch_profile

alias ms='/Applications/MIOS_Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/MIOS_Studio'
alias ms_batch='/Applications/MIOS_Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/MIOS_Studio --batch'

Whenever I need an additional session, I enter:

 

ms &

 

Or whenever I want to upload a .hex file from the terminal, I use ms_batch

Enter

ms_batch --help

for additional informations.

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Elegant, thank you!

 

I will try tonight..

 

 

UPDATE: works like a charm! The two cores do chatter. Two easy wires on the J5B header (for midi 3).
