MIDI split

Post by groumpf » Tue Sep 22, 2009 8:30 pm

Actually I have Live 6 so I don't know others version.

I would like a MIDI effect that outs only a range of MIDI notes.
For example, on track 1, I set up 0 to 64 and on track 2 65 to 127.
Notes outside the range are ignored.

I guess it's a very simple MIDI device so I don't know why it doesn't exist.

If Live had an API, I would make it myself ...

But maybe there is another solution to make a split without a master keyboard ?

Hi,

There is a very simple solution to be able to do that, which is to use a MIDI effects rack, or an instrument rack, depending on exactly how you want to do it. Simply chuck the rack on the MIDI channel that is receiving / playing the MIDI you want to work with. Click the button on the left of the rack that has the three horizontal lines on it, and then click the "key" button on the new view that opens up. This allows you to define the MIDI notes available to each chain in the rack.

Simply set up one rack for each channel, with one chain in each rack that only lets through the specific notes you are after.

Hope that helps :)

Thank you very much,

actually I just discovered the MIDI rack ! (because sometimes I play guitar instead of composing , I'm a bad guy...)

I understand I must put a midi effect to define a note range, I select the pitch which does nothing in my case and voila.
