In fact inside Reaper you don't need to enable midi input from MIDI INPUT 2 for the tascam to even assign the joystick to anything. I think everything is happening within the csurf script.

Any thoughts? Does it behave differently for you?
Matt, apologies - I didn't think of that!

Yes, the re-routing happens in the C-Surf extension which of course is a part of Reaper at runtime - so outside of Reaper, the US 2400 continues to send joystick data on port 1, of course.

Unfortunately, you can't change this behavior without breaking the C-Surf extension: While there are other modes in which the US-2400 sends on multiple ports, for the extension to work it has to be in Native Mode and sends/receives only on port 1.

Reaper then just re-routes the incoming data on port 1 to port 2 internally - maybe there's a way to get Reaper to send the MIDI on from its port 2 to other programs?

Don't worry about it, Teddy - I'm curious to see how your projects develop!
