Re: Greyed out/duplicated MIDI devices in Audio/MIDI setup?

I have noticed this same problem as I do have a MIDI device with about 12 synths hooked up to it, and I cannot find any way to prevent it from making this change every once in awhile.  I believe a few years ago there was a sound - on - sound article that talked about this issue in great length.

What I have been meaning to do ( and haven't had a chance) is to create a utility that will analyze the XML file that has the MIDI setup in it and pull those settings off of one and put them onto the other.  I did this by hand once as proof of concept, and it works, I just haven't gotten around to writing code for it.

I'd love to not have to do this anymore myself though.
