AFAIK this is not supported and against MIDI standard.
Don't know why some devices support it, maybe due to a bug or special/custom setup.

Can't understand this, sorry :(
Which devices are you talking about? Virtual MIDI devices or analog devices; you mentioned "speakers" so I'm a little bit confused...

Well, it was due to, as you say, a custom setup. What I'm saying is, all the correct instruments are there and can be extracted, but can't be played in custom MIDI players (they can be played on a DAW) because of the channl problem. Apparently this would work as long as you had multiple (virtual) devices connected to your computer. So that's why I was wondering if it would be possible to tell your computer that multiple virtual devices were available even though only your speakers played everything. So in other words, I would need to tell my computer it had more playback outputs that it actually has.

If you mean "more than one virtual MIDI device" then VirtualMIDISynth 2.x supports up to 4 devices, each with its own configuration.
You have to setup your DAW accordingly and split output over them.
If you instead mean more than one "analog" output device, well, I have no experience on it :(

Right. The problem is that the editors/players I use - Miditransform and Media PLayer Classic - won't allow me to use multiple devices at once.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas... :(
Hope someone could jump in here.

Hi
I have an aplication that generate music. This program can run in several instances.
When I use Windows generic synth or VMS1, all instances can use the same device and all plays together.
But the one VMS2 device can't be used by more than 1 source.

Just released 2.1-RC in its brand new thread.
Version 2.1 will have this feature but, being it a risky change, I'd like to experiment it a bit.
So let's continue there, closing this one.
