Hello!

Is there a way to specify the which midi device sends/receives CC's via ctlin/ctlout? Using ctlin/ctlout currently sends/receives CC's on all devices, which is not very useful.

I'm trying to use two midi interfaces to translate MIDI from an external sequencer to a drum machine, and another from the drum machine to the sequencer.

Thanks!

Gilberto!

According to that post I should be able to address the additional midi device by specifying its midi channel + 16. (16 being the midi channels from the 1st device.

I will try this solution when I get home and report back to the forum with my findings. BTW, in running off raspberry pi. I read somewhere that other OS's might not support multiple midi devices. Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone looking for a similar solution.

Thank you!

That's exactly why I sent this to you, but I had no means of testing it.

That would be highly appreciated!

Good luck and take care!

OK, some good news and bad... But maybe there is a workaround I'm not aware of.

The good news: When specifying channel 17 the 2nd midi device is indeed used on channel 1.

The bad news is that in order to specify a midi channel, you have to provide an argument for the cc# first, which forces you to ignore all other cc#'s. ...unless someone knows how to specify the channel without specifying the cc#?

hi, you could try [ctlin} like this:

I needed something similar so I patched this abstraction for doing that.

cc.zip

@weightless That's interesting. I almost but do not quite understand that patch. Perhaps it is because I do not understand the specific use case.

The O.P. seems to be talking about translating controller messages in a real-time sequencing environment. For that I tend to leave out as much calculation as possible and just use a single route object with all the ports/controller I need to filter the midin and 3 element list substitution to program the output objects.

@NoDSP This was in relation to post #7. By using [ctlin] you can specify just the cc# in the argument, but you can't specify just the midi channel. The purpose of this was to be able to get all cc# on one particular midi channel, or just one cc depending on what arguments you provide.

@weightless Ah, I see. My method for that has always been to break out all the separate channels I need with the first route (ie [route 1 2 3]) then use the individual outputs to more route objects with the desired controller numbers for each channel. Keeps it tight.

I had the same problem, I used spigots:

maybe you can use comport and define different channels? but that's for hardware stuff i guess..
