using multile midi devices with buzz

Post by n3wjack »

I have 2 Korg nano midi controls. A pad2 and a Kontrol2.
I have to choose which one I want to use in Buzz however, so I'm wondering if there is a way to get both of them working at the same time.

From the looks of it this ain't possible as is, but I'm wondering if there isn't some magical midi software out there that generates a virtual midi device for all connected devices oslt. :)

You can do it if you select Polac ASIO for your wave output. Then you use a Polac MIDI In machine for each additional MIDI device you want to use beyond the one Buzz is set to listen to (select target machine(s) in the MIDI send dialog). For any targets that don't accept MIDI directly, you can use a Polac MIDI Bus as a bridge.

If for some reason you don't want to use Polac ASIO, you could alternatively use something like MIDI-Ox, or my Java program

I use MidiTrix along-side Buzz all the time. I have three controllers.

Would love if Buzz had multiple midi inputs in preferences/options though (instead of just one).

edit: Oh, forgot - I use Miditrix in conjunction with Midi Yoke (I just forgot to mention that since it was so long ago I installed Midi Yoke)

The first response was probably the response you wanted. I havent done it in awhile but I used to run multiple midi controllers all the time. Set your output to Polac asio, and use the polac midi generators for different midi devices. Works great for midi out as well. I love tracking sweet basslines and sending them out to my synth, recording that, and then popping it into a matilde tracker.
