Multiple midi inputs for FX

Post by benaben » Thu Sep 27, 2012 7:50 am

Hi,

Maul from Fxpansion has just been released. And as its friend Etch, it's responding to midi input on multiple midi channels.
Problem: in Live you can only route midi signal to the channel 1 of any VST (or AU probably) effect, so we are loosing some useful features on these new plugs.
That was my FR, thank you! :)

Ben

Getting right into Etch. Craving this feature.

From what I can tell, you can't send audio to fx plugin/insert 3+4, 4+5... etc either. Hopefully this is in Live 9.

For reference, I'm trying to control the Etch envelope with the envelope follower module, which can only be triggered by 1&2 currently. i.e. the audio that the plugin insert is applied to. The module has a setting to listen to 3&4 but Ableton won't let me send to that, only 1&2 so you get an amalgamation of the insert channel audio, plus whatever you send there as well.

I am hoping 9 is the release that I can retire my other DAWs.

Still only one midi input route for inserts unfortunately (as far as I can tell).

Disappointing to say the least. It's the one of the two features I was waiting for (the other was midi note extraction from audio).
