Changing MIDI out channel on the fly with Polac loader?

Post by etruscan »

Hi,

I'm using an Access Virus TI Snow with Buzz. It has a VST software interface which I use with Polac's wrapper. The Snow has 3 audio channels - these are controlled using
MIDI channels 1,2,3. It's easy to send data to the required channel in a Polac VST pattern by setting the appropriate MIDI channel number in the parameter column.

Controlling the synth with a MIDI keyboard is less flexible. To target the Snow channel I want I have to go into Preferences/Global and change the MIDI out channel.

I'm wondering if there is a simpler way to direct MIDI from the keyboard to a given channel without changing the Polac wrapper preferences. Does anyone have any ideas? Note
that I can't load multiple instances of the Snow VST interface.

Cheers :D

Hi, you can set the midi out channel via attributes or in the loader settings view. The preferences midi out channel defines only the default behavior for the loader on startup.

Cheers for that - does the job nicely :) Originally I was trying to do something 'smart'/needlessly complicated with Internal MIDI machines, but right-clicking and changing the out channel in attributes is quick and easy!
