Filter MIDI program change / CC only to active chain

Post by miyarakira » Sat May 19, 2012 10:19 pm

Hi All,

I have an instrument rack, and I select through instruments using the chain selector. I noticed that program change and CC messages from the keyboard affects all chains, not just the chain that's selected.

Is there a way to filter MIDI program change & CC, so they only affect the currently selected chain?

I suppose I can turn off all other chains other than the one in use, but that would be a pain to map for each instrument..?

Thanks for any help.

rightclick the chainselector, you will find the filter-midi option.

Ahhh, I didn't know about the "filter MIDI Ctrl" option on chain selector. That really helps. Thanks, rdevries! I had a work-around set up, by switching MIDI in channels, but this will simplify things. I appreciate the tip.
