There's nothing that needs to be done in the Control GUI for adding additional drives. If you have more than 8 or 9, you'll need to modify the Arduino code (not sure how many drives you have).
By default the settings in the GUI will assign notes one MIDI channel at a time to the drives. So channel 1 will be drive 1, &c.
The amount of drives I have is 6 with only 2 plugged in right now for testing. When I select COM4 which is where my Arduino is I get the startup tone from the first drive and 2 steps from the other one but when I go to play a MIDI only the first one plays music.
Only the first drive will normally play startup tones, so that's fine. What MIDI file are you playing? Does it have notes on channels 1 and 2? Try connecting your second drive as if it were one of the other drives (maybe the MIDI file only have notes on channel 3, 4, 5, &c.)
I was using different MIDI files but to make troubleshooting easier I'm using the Tetris sample song included with the program and I'm still getting the same problem. I swapped out the drive and still got the same issue.
Can you provide a screenshot of the GUI just to make sure there's no configuration issues?

The Device Address
script should just be set to 1
since you only have
one Arduino hooked up and its Device Address is 1
(see panel on upper
right).

Oh I see! I thought that was talking about drives and not Arduinos. That's why I selected one per channel. Thanks again for the help. Now I can hook up the rest, make a table for them to sit on, and I'll be done!
Hello it's me again lol In terms of hardware I have everything set up, the drives are in the proper pins and the ground pins are daisy-chained to the ground pin on the Arduino. What I want to know is how to make the Control GUI know that I have multiple drives in order to play more tracks in the MIDI. Thanks so much for the help and I'm loving Moppy so far.
