Hi,

Is there a possibility to Group somehow Midi Devices and use this Group for a specific Instrument?

Lets say i have a Software Instrument i would like to be able to play with lets say only 2 specific midi Devices. Besides that i have external Midi incoming and want to use this for another Channel.

As of now i everytime need to switch Midi Devices because only All or one specific Device is available.

Is this something which could be somehow achieved?

Best Regards

I assume by "Midi Devices" you mean hardware controllers, keyboards, faderboxes, etc.?

If so, try this:

Make your track with your software instrument on it, set the midi input to none, monitor to on. Name the track "Player"

Make two new midi tracks for your inputs,
Set the first track MIDI input to whatever your first hardware device is. Set the second track MIDI input to whatever your second piece of hardware is.

Now set both of those to Monitor in, and the output of both tracks MIDI pulldowns to "Player"

that should work, from memory.

Anyway, now you have two input tracks where you can drop different MIDI devices arpegiators, etc. and you can mute them or scale them to modify the hardware signals and outcomes.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. Ok, will try that.

Best Regards
