Hi... i'd like to open two instance of chameleon on two monitors ... but when i open the second instance, the midi of the first go down... is there a tricks or is there a method to select a different midi driver? Thank you

Software will need a modification to run 2 instances.
Anyway you know you cant use the touch at same instance in the 2 monitors at same time?
That is a OS limitation.

Thanks for the reply. The project does not plan to use two monitors simultaneously. The second instance of Chameleon starts without problems, I think the block is to use one midi driver, if i can select an other midi virtual driver, i.e. BomeMIDI Elephant... Of course I can use two computers... but why? Thanks

Ok!! let's do it, just gimme few days in order to figured out about this issue.
I just add more MIDI ports when second instance is activated, just let me check if can fix this.

I moved your post to the proper section of the forum.
I release this night a new version enable second MIDI port named Chameleon2 when run a second instance.
I reply again here when is done.

Some older software, have a problems if ports not are persistent.
In this version ports are persistent and user can open up to 4 instances of chameleon, in the next version I add a option for remove ports of multiple instances and all ports if needed when Chameleon is closed
At this moment, I think this do the job for you. Doing final tests before upload.

New version released, please read the change log.
I improve this in the near future in order associate the MIDI port to the process running, without this feature, close and reopen the software not following the correct order cause MIDI port disconnection. I fix that soon, just release a update in order you can start use your setup ASAP. Please test and confirm, for sure will be nice see a video of your setup on youtube 🙂
