Count Dooku Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Is it possible to have two midi controllers on two separate midi channels control the same software instrument? So keyboard 1 and keyboard 2 both control a software instrument 1. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddcow Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Couldn’t you just set up that synth to respond to any MIDI channel rather than a specific channel? If you can’t, you could use a MIDI plugin to rechannelise data from one keyboard to that specific synth i.e. use a MIDI rechanneliser on that synth so that the keyboard 2 data (on MIDI channel 2, for example) is rechannelised to the same MIDI channel as the other keyboard....just on that channel strip.

skijumptoes Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 That's how Logic works by default if you're not record enabling multitrack recording. Are you asking because you can't achieve this, or just curious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Dooku Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Figured it out: this is what the "multitimbral" setting in the midi input is for. For some reason I thought I tried that before, but it works now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skijumptoes Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Oh man, this is shameful. Sorry. I just pick on the 'New posts' button at the top. You've even quoted me so i can't edit the post to make you look crazy. *Jumps out window* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douthet Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I have done this in a live setting where I have my main midi controller, and my drummer has a controller her occasionally plays. My drummers controller is sending midi data over channel 2 and connected to the midi in of my midi controller from the midi out of his controller. This is then passing through my midi controller (which is on midi channel 1). I then select which midi channels I want to be able to play that software instrument. (All midi channels in your case) bit you can also add second keyboard mapped separately to midi channel 2 to your layout, and then that second midi controller can control it’s own separate synths, which is what I have running at the moment. So I can play some synth pads, and he plays synth leads over top of what I am playing in one instance of mainstage, all mixed in the channel strips. Pretty cool stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
