midi channel filter
hi all.
I have a midi keyboard which is set to channel 16 and I need to keep it like that because I use it for live performance but when im in the studio I need it to be on channel 1.
rather than switching back and forth is there a max for live patch which would 'convert' or 'transform' the midi channel from 16 to 1?
thanks!

Re: midi channel filter
Maxforlive sees all MIDI input as Channel 1 regardless....

Re: midi channel filter
that's good to know but this is to transform the midi channel to 1 so that I can trigger instruments which only allow channel 1 as an input.
how could I put a maxforlive device before the instrument so that the midi hitting it is channel 1?

Re: midi channel filter
You could create a M4L Midi Effect. You might need MAX for it though.

Re: midi channel filter
I guess then you could simply drop the "default" MIDI M4L device in the tracks.

Re: midi channel filter
Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't External Instrument do the trick?
Re: midi channel filter
lol yup you're totally right.
That's a much easier solution.

Re: midi channel filter
- Set MIDI Track input to Ch 16 of your keyboard
- Load an External Instrument
- Set the output to the preferred Port and Ch 1

Re: midi channel filter
Do I put this before my instrument on a midi track?
Re: midi channel filter
If you're using it with an instrument on a MIDI Track, it doesn't matter if the input is set to Ch1, Ch16 or All.
Like Darren said, Live sees everything as Channel 1 AFTER it passed though the MIDI Input.

Re: midi channel filter
im really sorry that im not understanding how to implement this guys.
ive put the external instrument on a midi track but when I try and add a instrument plugin after it the external instrument disappears.
how do I get the midi channel conversion into the instrument?
cheers

Re: midi channel filter
Did you try with an empty Max Midi device ?

Re: midi channel filter
You'll need two separate MIDI Tracks, one with your instrument loaded in it (let's say Operator), and the other one for your controller (which I think could even just be an empty MIDI track)benjamingordon wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:45 pmive put the external instrument on a midi track but when I try and add a instrument plugin after it the external instrument disappears.

Then on this controller MIDI track: Set MIDI Inputs to your controller and CH 16, and output to go to Operator.
For whatever reason if this doesn't work for you, here is a link to a MIDI effect that you can put behind your operator instrument and change MIDI channels:
