On 8 May you wrote about USB hub use.
You share a hub for SD2 and Nano etc.
Do any shared devices affect the SD2 performance sharing ports in a hub.
Also how do they show in vArranger midi port inputs. 
Is it the hub name that shows or does each device still show in VA midi in/out ports??   
I may need to share devices in a usb hub ?

Maybe a bit unlrelated here but to let you know that I have One USB connection for GI20 Guitar midi, another USB fo CASIO Privia keyboard and a third USB in for KORG Kontrol and a USB out for SD2.

That is I have GI20 in one port and a USB hub on another with CASIO privia in, and KORG Kontrol in, also on same hub USB out to SD2 via Edirol UM1-EX .
I have a third USB port that I use for UA-25 External sound card.

Played for Mother's Day function yesterday and all went like clockwork, no hiccups. Had songs in a couple of folders on side bar and retrieved quickly and effortlessly. Only drawback was if I used another voice with my midi guitar I had to select manually.

And Dan the 3rd Input worked perfect.

Hi Jon,
As I can recall I had no issues using the setup I had.

Today I have a bit different but simular setup.

I have a new Laptop with 4 USB inputs (one is a USB 3 type) my previous laptop had 3 USB ports.

I use one USB port for a Edirol PCR800 keyboard (a full USB midi keyboard - no inbuilt sounds)
Also I use one USB port for my Roland GI20 midi Guitar interface
Also use one USB port for Edirol UM-1X midi interface to Ketron SD4 (not using USB direct - some issues occur)
and last one to connect to my Native Instruments Complete Audio 6 USB Soundcard.

At the moment I use a Bluetooth mouse which disconnected on my last performance and the Touchpad refused to initiate
so I had to reboot system and that is a bit embarrassing for a live performance.

Now I will use a USB hub to give me spare ports in case I have issue again and contemplating using nano controller for greater
vArranger control.

Answer to question: Inputs and outputs shows up as the controller name/type and had no issues
