This would probably work as long as we also have some method of
automatically figuring out which port a device is on or if its not
connected. would we need to do a device scan (06 01) each time at
startup to work out which port a device is on? I know not all devices
support this though.

Can we assume that duplicate synths will always have a different device
id? or are there some devices where this isn't the case? maybe synths
that dont support device ids?
