MIDI routing in Live
MIDI routing in Live
I'm using a MIDI generating plugin (Thesys) that outputs notes and control events.
But I want to receive the notes and control events on different tracks.
Is this separation possible in Live?

So I guess no answer means NO.
Or maybe the question wasn't clear?

Re: MIDI routing in Live
cant you just route your midi output into a different channel using midi to and midi from?
Re: MIDI routing in Live
Unfortunately, Thesys sends notes and control events on the same channel (which can't be changed). But even if they were on different channels, I'm not sure how it could work, as Live doesn't seem to provide channel selection when receiving MIDI from a plugin.
Re: MIDI routing in Live
you should be able to achieve that by using 3rd party VSTs - http://www.thepiz.org/dl/?p=vst#pizmidi
try the midiNotchFilter, there you should be able to filter notes on one and CCs on another track.

Thanks R.A.W.!
That's exactly what I need. Works great.

Well, at least notes coming from the same channel are easy to separate to different instruments with an instrument rack:broc wrote:I'm using a MIDI generating plugin (Thesys) that outputs notes and control events.

Let's say you have 3 note lines coming from your source on the same midi channel, in order to route these to 3 different instruments you could do following.
1. create an instrument rack on the track receiving your midi source.
2. separate the 3 note lines to different octaves far enough from each other so that they wont get mixed into the same key range.
3. put the 3 instruments you wish to receive your midi feed to 3 different chains. Adjust the key range (click show/hide chain list, key) of the instrument racks chains so that 3 instruments will get the midi note feed only from the octave range that contains the note line that was meant for it.
4. Put pitch plug-in in front of instruments in order to adjust the octave in which the instrument is meant to play it.
You can route the audio output of these instruments to individual armed audio tracks for further processing.

Thanks Tommi,
but I want to separate notes from control events.
Strangely, Live's MIDI routing and effects seem to deal only with notes.
So the above mentioned 3rd party VSTs provide a useful extension.
