Hi,
I have two LUMI Keys from Roli, hoping to be able to use them to control different instruments. From talking with Roli directly, they say that other DAWs do work this way, but they did not have experience with Mixcraft to confirm.
Currently, playing a key on either device causes the 'armed' instrument to play. I do see two MIDI devices listed(see below), but it seems the device labeled 2 - LUMI Keys Block does not change anything. Whatever device I assign to 'LUMI Keys Block' causes both input devices to play on that track. Basically, I can not separate these two devices to play individual tracks. It seems both of these devices are assigning themself to 'LUMI Keys Block'.
I do find that setting just to an individual MIDI Channel made it so that only a few keys would play on one of the keyboards. Perhaps there's a way to split out these channels?
I can also provide insight into the controls that the Roli programs offer as well, which may be helpful.
Hoping someone here may be able to provide some insight on how I might be able to achieve this.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hi,
Look at the top of Mixcraft 9's screen and check the build number.

Hi,
Does it behave properly if you arm both tracks for the two different devices?

Re: Controlling different instruments with two Roli devices
Figured this out. These are tiny keyboards meant to be snapped together to allow for a larger range if desired, but I need to physically separate them when I want them to be individual MIDI devices. Keeping them locked together just extends the range of notes as a single MIDI device. Hope this helps if someone has these devices and gets stuck, or is curious if they would work in this manner -- they do.Acoustica Greg wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 4:32 pm Hi,

Re: Controlling different instruments with two Roli devices
I often play 2 instruments at the same time in Mixcraft. You have to select both tracks with Ctrl+Mouse click. This may also work when recording. Maybe this information can help.
