I posted this also as a response in another post and the question went forward:

> [@JUCE 8.0.11 MIDI PORT NAME](https://forum.juce.com/t/juce-8-0-11-midi-port-name/67745):
>
> Compared to JUCE 8.0.10, this version completely changes the naming of MIDI ports. For example: Array\<MidiDeviceInfo\> itemsIn = MidiInput::getAvailableDevices(); for (const auto& item : itemsIn) { DBG(item.name); } Previously the device was listed as “MY PORT”, but now it appears as “MY : PORT”. Does anyone know why? Is this a JUCE-introduced bug, maybe related to MIDI 2.0 compatibility? I can confirm that the colon is added only for MIDI 2.0 devices.
