Hi,

I have an assignment due for this monday coming. We are doing a project at university on midi.
Part of the project is to assign a keyboard so that it runs more than one device. I've managed to crack this part

The hard bit:

How do i split up the keyboard into two or three parts, so that certain keys will play certain notes on one midi instrument and othe keys in different sections of the keyboard will play a different instrument?

If anyone could help with this I would be very grateful.

Cheers,

Ben Frost

You will need to set up 3 "transformers" on your "Clicks and Ports" page in the environment.
In the environment window choose New>Transformer

Set up your page so it is similar to the picture below:



Double click on each transfomer when you have set them up and assign settings exactly the same as in the images below. The only thing you should change is the note range for each transformer. I assume you can see how I have done this for each transformer (each one represents the three keyboard split zones).

make sure you select "Apply Operation Filter non-matching events" for each transformer.

Transformer 1



Transformer 2



Transformer 3



This will split your keyboard into 3 separate MIDI channels. You then assign these different MIDI channels to different sounds.
