I hadn't used my intuous 5 since first setting it up about a week ago. In the interim, I had set the default midi channel in Kyma to 2. I did not associate the Wacom with the default Kyma midi channel.

When I tried using the pen tonight, I couldn't get it to work consistently - usually not at all. I eventually found that the pen status window kept on showing the mappings in channel 2, but the pen seemed to be sending out messages on channel 1....then I remembered the midi channel change, changed it back to 1, and now everything works normally.

I'm a little confused by this. Obviously the pen doesn't use midi, so why would changing the default Kyma midi channel cause this awkwardness with the pen?

The idea was to allow multiple Wacom tablets. We assume each tablet is on a different channel and we use MIDI channels as the logical channels (even though the Wacom is not literally using MIDI)

I eventually figured that out after considerable confusion, but why is it necessary to associate the wacom channels with midi channels? Why not just Wacom channels? (does that make any sense?)
