Midi "router"? Options

[Turner]

Hi all -

I'm using GarageBand as my main app here -

Just wondering if anyone knows of a MIDI-router-type thing... not sure exactly what it would be called, but as an example, I'd like a pre-GB software device which can take my MIDI input and reroute it, the same way you might assign pads to a MIDI Drum set (one of the things I'll be using..)

So, you might have a signal coming in on, say, middle C - I'd like to be able to say, "ok, make that a middle A".. and so forth.

Even better would be if I could split that, so middle C might become 5 different notes at a time...

And even better would be if parameters could be set, too, so that if you had input below a certain velocity, for example, it would be set to a given velocity, say, any velocity below 40 simply becomes 40.

Any leads?

thx
Andrew

check out these things:

MIDIPipe, MIDI Patchbay (both free) and Plogue Bidule (a free beta of a soon to be comercial product).

There are links to these from the music sofware guide section of my site http://arvidtp.net/Guide.html

then put the instrument into the "MIDI routing" software, the out of the MIDI software should go to a virtual out (like the IAC bus, or one you create using the software itself). Then choose that virtual MIDI bus as an IN on GB. Piece of cake.

peace

Cool, thank you!

I'll check these out...
