Sharing MIDI channels?
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 11:59 am
I have a horrible feeling that this is a really stupid question, but I'm quite big now and can stand a little rough stuff.
I'm running Pro Studio 9. I have a Roland Boutique (JP-08) as an external instrument, and need to run its MIDI editor to change sound parameters in real time. As things stand, I have my usual MIDI keyboard connected direct to the Boutique. However, to run the editor, this is bypassed and the Boutique is connected direct from the computer to MIDI in via USB. Another USB cable from the Boutique carries other MIDI information to the Editor.
My problem is this:
I can connect the keyboard to the Boutique in the usual way (MIDI) and run the Editor.
I can connect the keyboard to the Boutique via USB and play as normal, but I can't run the Editor, because both the Editor and the keyboard address the synth through the same MIDI channel. With the Editor, the instrument needs three tracks simultaneously: one for the keyboard, one for the Editor and one for the Audio from the instrument. If I set the specified MIDI channel (Boutique) for the keyboard, I can't use it again for the Editor, and vice versa.
Is there a way that I can run both together (i.e. share the MIDI channel)?
