After over a decade of pretty much being exclusively a Linux user,
work is forcing me to use OSX, and I have discovered my sound card has
much better support under OSX. So I am trying to use this OSX machine
with csound.

How do I use multiple USB MIDI devices in one csound process under
OSX? Is this even possible? Two out of the three devices I plan to use
do not have MIDI input or output ports on them, so chaining them
physically is out of the question.

As a fallback I will consider running one extra csound instance per
hardware device, and have them all send OSC to the csound instance
that is generating audio, but that seems a little silly.

did you already try the option -Ma?

Sadly, I am using a SoftStep, and one of the two "devices" created
when it plugs in is unusable and prone to sending garbage (used for
configuration and communication with the GUI SoftStep editor).
