Re-configuring A Keyboard For Use With Midi Inst.s, I need to split a keyboard into sections Options

[IcedB]

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

Are you wanting to trigger a single Multi Timbral Software synth/sampler or various software synths or external MIDI instruments?
That's the next stage.

A single Multi Timbral instrument is easy.
Set up an Audio Instrument and make sure that MIDI channel is set to "all" in the parameter box.
Load your multi software synth and assign sounds to the corresponding MIDI channels.

One way to send to multiple instruments, be they exernal MIDI or internal software synths, is to create a channel splitter in the environment and assign this to your arrange page track i.e. you play your MIDI notes to this object in the arrange page . Use the far right tool in the environment toolbox (the MIDI connector with arrow symbol) to assign the channel splitter to the arrange page instrument. In the environment cable the channel splitter to your various instruments. You can hold down the "option" key and click on the output cable from the various MIDI channels on the channel splitter. You get a pop up list of instruments to assign each channel to.

That's it!!
