How to bypass midi arpeggiator / polyphonic midi output object?

Hello,

I’m about to finish a sampler keyboard and use my axolotl as a midi arpeggiator. It sits between the midi out from the keyboard and the midi in from the sampler. I use the cpwitz/midi/arpeggiator and it works really well.

The thing I want to do now is to add an on/off switch to the arpeggiator. I tried this using the „midi/in/keyb“ and „midi/out/note“ objects and some switching, but that way I only get a monophonic midi signal at the output.

Is there a way to pass the midi data through axolotl (un-altered), so that I get a polyphonic midi signal at the DIN output?

Right now I don’t see a way to achieve this because the Midi output objects all have a blue inlet for monophonic signals… or is there some kind of work around?

(I found „tb/midi/utils/midithru“ but it doesn’t have an on/off switch..)

Best regards
Lars

cool! be aware though, this is a "hack", so if you hold some notes and switch to non arpeggiated mode while still holding those notes, your synth will only receive the note off events and might choke. but it might also be ok with your synth. so i would try some wild switching while playing and see what happens (if you get stuck notes or similar)

a more proper solution would probably be to enhance the arpeggiator object with a bypass/thru mode...

yes, I was already thinking of missing note off events, but it works well enough for me now. Will do some more testing on the weekend ..
