how to automaticly split Midi data ?

[mikiber2]

I'm working on a strings project, now i have 5 inst tracks :

bass,cello,viola,violin1+2 and each track is set to the corresponding key limit of each instruments, so when i record enable all the tracks, i can play my keyboard with all the instruments seperated in the right octaves,

but after recording, all the midi info goes to track 1 !

how can i automaticly have the midi info splited to each track ?

I am not sure what you are doing but you could try to check the 'Auto Demix by Channel...' box.

The quick way to get there is by using the Record selection of the Metronome button (Bottom right on transport).

thanks, but it didn't work, as you see i want the notes to split to each track and not only to the bass

1. Highlight all the notes for a part i.e. cello and in one of the midi editors i.like. the Score and assign them to a different midi channel.

 

2. Do the same for the other parts.

 

3. Then in the editor i.e. the Score under Note Events choose "Split to Channels."

 

BTW, I know this is not automatic but I think it may still be the most effective way at the end of the day.

 

YMMV.

After following shivermetimbers' advice, make sure you set each audio instrument's MIDI Channel parameter to the desired MIDI Channel. You can then choose which instrument you want to play by selecting the desired MIDI Channel on your controller.

I must be doing something wrong,

if i change the midi chanel of each track (midi 1,2,3,4) and selecting the auto demix function then when i record enable the tracks, i can only hear chanel 1... ? any idea

should i use multi channel instruments ?..

right now i have MSI loaded for each intrument track in stereo.

[David Nahmani]

You can only hear MIDI Channel 1 because that's the MIDI Channel your MIDI controller sends. That's the way it is supposed to behave.

 

Do you want to play all instruments at once? How do you want Logic to split the notes to the right instruments?

[mikiber2]

actually when i record enable chanel 1 or 2 I can hear them, it's only when i record enable the both of them that i hear only chanel 1.. ? and this only if the chanel demix is clicked ?

 

i'm sure there must be a simple way to do this.

[David Nahmani]

...to do what? I'm sure there must be a simple way to explain what you want to do.

 

PS: Yes, what you are describing is the normal behavior. If you rec-arm one track, you're playing that track. If you rec-arm several, you're demixing by channel, as set in your preferences.

[mikiber2]

ok i guess i really have no clue how to explain myself,

anyway thanks for trying.

As I understand it the OP wants to record the different split zones of his keyboard on different tracks automatically, ie. without changing the MIDI channnel. But I'm not sure how to achieve this, maybe it requires some transformer cabling.

In other words: How to implement a function like 'Auto Demix by Zones'?

[mikiber2]

I'm very happy to see that there are people that can use words so well...

thanks you, this is what i meant, any idea how to achieve this ?

[Fred B]

Well, I've experimented a bit with transformers but didn't find a working solution so far.

Looks like a real challenge, or maybe I'm missing something obvious.

 

David?
