MacOS Corrupt Audio MIDI Setup:
On some newer M2 and M3 Macs a corrupted MIDI device name may occur when on first attachment.
Does your freqport product, when plugged in, show highlighted as "freqtube" in Midi Studio?
If the highlighted name is not freqtube (such as shown in picture here) then power off your freqport product, then select the corrupted MIDI icon in MIDI Studio, then select menu Edit -> Delete. The selected icon will disappear. Next, power-on your freqport product and the icon should appear correctly as freqtube.
