A 're-scan for midi devices' option?

Hey all, maybe I'm missing something, but when I open Sonar without turning on my Motif ES6 first, Sonar doesn't see the midi device. It will tell me that it is not available. Got it. Is there a re-scan for midi devices option like there is to find VSTs and plug-ins? If not, I would love to have that. The only way I get Sonar to see my midi device (if I don't turn it on first) is to re-boot Sonar. 
 
I must be missing something?

    MIDI devices come online to Windows (who needs to see them first), and then they get recognized by SONAR. AFAIK, this is already automatic, but can/will take several seconds to occur. SONAR has always given me a pop up saying "New device detected, would you like to use it now?" Try opening SONAR, then powering on a controller and see how long this takes to occur for you.
     
    The counterpoint is I cannot recall now if this alters previously used assignments for that controller (if multiple ins/outs), meaning if the controller comes online in this method if the controller has to then be enabled in preferences.

    ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.
