recording midi in from various midi channels to one midi track and play back from one track to an external sampler (cough, with colored notes for each midi channel) please. I used to do this with programs from the past.

This way, you can play back any sample from your sampler with one track of midi. See, I need to do this.

Hi,

there is no "MIDI channel" thing in Live's MIDI clips, it's the output of the track that determines to which MIDI channel the data is sent, so, I guess the answer to your question is "no".

I'll move that thread to the General froum, it'll get more attention and keep the beta forum cleaner.

Yea, the answer is no, but it should be 'yes'

You lazy programmers! Rewrite this, add an array for 1-16 as a hash variable. I need this to work. Without this, I need sixteen tracks to do the same thing and I can't see the notes lining up. Also, I have many samplers loaded, the EIV has 32 midi channels, that is 32 tracks the way it is now. See, that's no good. Just one track for sixteen channels like it's supposed to be in the midi spec.

Repeat after me "Multitimbral"

I guess that is one way of asking.

I asked nicely last year and they didn't do it. timothyallen you smug little musician smart guy. you probably use soundflower to do your dishes.

Dude, I'm a developer by day, just like the Abes. Since you mention hash variables, I see you're probably no stranger to programming either.

If some anonymous douche on a web forum were to ask rudely for a fairly major change to my product, do you think I'd give them the time of day, let alone even consider the change?

.. and yeah, I am a smug musician smart guy.

funny!

Why bother

someone needs a diaper change.

stop already

'midi channels' are an old world midi tool that has no relevance nowadays.

i'm glad ableton dumped it. useless.

(ps; anyone want to buy 2 K2000's and a S3200 ?)

what's your sampler Abletude?

No need for a hash if you have sixteen fixed channels, a fixed array is fine. You even get linear lookups that way, or faster iterations. --Kent

One is an Emu EV4, Casio FZ10, Korg Oasys, Akai, lots more.

By the way, bensuthers, you're insane. and outside of playing other peoples music, what do you do?
