[RWP] Legacy Surfaces

[Jim Snowbarger]

Does anybody have any idea how to associate a control surface with a 
particular midi connection?
I don't see any association in options, preferences, control surfaces to a 
particular midi interface.  I have several, and God knows which one it is 
trying to use.
All I know is it apparently isn't the one I'm connected to.
Likewise in the midi devices sectons, which for some weird reason is in 
options preferences, under audio, of all places,  I don't see any way to 
associate them.
I think I'm missing a piece somehow.
