Setting MIDI channels per sub patch


#1

There have been other topics on this, however it's defeating me.

I have two copies of a simple patch, assigned to different MIDI channels through settings, however, notes are getting routed to both patches - ignoring the MIDI channel setting. What am I doing wrong?

Here's the patch:

I have two instances of this patch with the following settings

The first

The second


#2

Did you press 'update' on the subpatch after changing the channel?

As an aside try using the midi selector instead? though the above should also work


#3

Yeah, did the update, also tried the MIDI selector.


#4

I tried again... this time it worked! I'll have to retrace my steps and check it works ok. Not sure what I did wrong the first time.

I realize this is an old post, but I'm having the same issue and it seems as though it was never really explained. Here is a simplified representation of the patch I'm trying to create:

The parent patch, on the left, is set to midi channel 1. It has a patcher object, shown on the right, which I have set to midi channel 2.

My intent is that the patcher object only respond to midi channel 2 inputs. The problem is I can find no combination of midi settings to create that result. I can get it to respond to channel 1, all channels, or no channels; but not channel 2 only. I've tried fiddling with the subpatch mode and the midi selector. Is there something else I should be doing here?

in the subpatch menu, select "has midi selector" and then from the parent patch hit update on the subpatch box and select the channel and the device, works for me!


#7

Thank you for the reply, got it working! I actually tried that before to no result, but that was because I had the "midiport" parameter set to channel 2. I tried setting it to "omni", and it worked (no idea why).


#8

yes, that is because midiport has nothing to do with channel info. on a DIN input just leave it at omni. on usb-midi there are some devices with more then one port open, meaning they can send midi on 3 different "cables" with this menu you can separate them if necessary.
