I have been finding midi send very useful. I think it would be great if it had midi channel select. Would be good for splitting Drum vsts into there different groups. A filter would work to only play E-0 to E-3.

In pvst you can set the midi channel/keyzone in the settings view(F4) of the receiving vst.

What i am trying to achieve is different drum groups ie bassdrum channel 1 snare channel 2 toms channel 3 hihats channel 4 fx and send this to different machines from one machine. Looking at my drum sampler it seems there is no way to select individual midi channels anyway for the different drums different outputs but no midi channel select. They only way i can see to do it is multiple instances of the Drum vst with the bits u don't want deleted and then send that. Hope this makes sense

You could do this quite painlessly with a PyBuzz script:

• 1) Insert a PyBuzz machine;
  
  2) Make the note/trigger parameter of each machine you want to control a peer target in PyBuzz;
  
  3) Make a multiple-track pattern for PyBuzz. Each track represents a different drum group (kick, snare, etc.);
  
  4) Place notes in the note column of the relevant track to trigger the associated drum group;
  
  5) Write a PyBuzz script which uses OnParameter() to detect the note trigger and which track it is on;
  
  6) Make the script send a value to the relevant peer target depending on the track.

If you're not familiar with PyBuzz, let me know, and I'll send you an example.

I,ll give anything a go if you can send me an example i am sure i could figure it out. Not really up on pybuzz i will look into it. My peer machines seem to be broken when i click assign parameter no dialogue box comes up in the 64bit version but does in the 32bit

If I understand this correctly you can do this in the settings view of the vsts. Set the midi in channel in the receiving vsts(your drum sampler instance). But this means you have open multiple instances of your drum sampler, single instance does not work unless the drum sampler handles multiple midi channels.

Thanks for the replies figured out a way to do it. Use a synth with key split and set the high note and low note to which ever key range you want then midi send. It works without setting midi channels in the drum vst. For drum vsts polac is right you have to use multiple instances and delete or mute the drum sounds you do not wish to sound in the target drum vst .

Nice
