Hi all, new user here. Nice to meet everyone. When I open the standalone version and try to use my Arturia Keystep 37 as my MIDI controller using my Dreadbox Nymphes and its Nymph module, VM stays on "None" as my MIDI controller. This of course renders everything useless. For those of you who use the Nymph module, do you have a problem when you tell Nymph to switch to your MIDI controller.
FYI it will not switch either in standalone or within my DAW Studio One 6x, nor will it even let me switch to Nymphes out inside my DAW.
Is there are a dedicated support channel for Cherry?

If you go to https://cherryaudio.com/ and click on Support, that should take you to https://cherryaudio.kayako.com/.
In addition to the topics listed, there's the "Start a conversation" form to ask for support.
Re: VM Not Switching to MIDI Controller
By any chance are you trying to use a MIDI port that is already in use? For example, if the Host MIDI connection is assigned to/used with MyMIDIInputDevice01, I cannot also assign MyMIDIInputDevice01 to a module that allows for device assignments.
Re: VM Not Switching to MIDI Controller
Oh. I just looked up Nymph and you are talking about a module done by Tim Shoebridge. I suggest contacting him.
Re: VM Not Switching to MIDI Controller
Tim doesn't appear to have a dedicated manufacturer's forum in here, but there is a contact email address in the store:

Have you read the online documentation?
This section seems important:
MIDI
These controls allow you to connect NymphCC both to your Nymphes synthesiser but also to MIDI controllers such as keyboards, sequencers and your DAW.
There are two inputs, one is an internal Voltage Modular MIDI input connection (represented by the DIN socket graphic) and the other is a direct MIDI connection to the MIDI devices registered on your computer. You can also use one of the inputs to facilitate two-way communication with your Nymphes synth. Doing so ensures that the sliders and controls in NymphCC are kept in sync with any direct changes you make to the physical sliders on the synth itself.
Important: You must use the direct MIDI input for two-way connection to a Nymphes, use of the DIN connection is reserved for use with MIDI keyboards, sequencers and your DAW.
There are also two outputs, these are direct outputs intended to be connected to one or two Nymphes synthesisers. Only one output is visible at a time, it is indicated by the number shown on the device selection button. You can switch between output 1 and 2 using the “OUT” switch. Connecting two Nymphes synths at the same time facilitates poly-chaining which is discussed further below.
The “Send to channel” channel number must be set to match the channel on which your Nymphes synth receives MIDI messages. You must also ensure your Nymphes is configured to receive MIDI messages (and also transmit them if you wish to use two-way communication).

Re: VM Not Switching to MIDI Controller
Great information, Grant. It looks like Tim did a deep dive on the issue in order to get his VM module to work with Dreadbox's Nymphes. If the available documentation doesn't help, maybe he can help sort out what's going on.
