Title: Keyswitch
Post by raintalk on Feb 2^nd, 2007, 6:07pm

This seems like a simple issue, but some reason I can't crack it.

I'm currently setup like this:
Midi-OX
Prodikeys
||
V
Yellow Tools Keyswitch (Not sure where I got this)
||
V
GigaStudio

What I do is setup Midi-OX virtual qwerty keyboard, and F3 down to a low octave. Z = C1, X=D1, C=E1, and so on.

Then I setup Yellow Tools Keyswitch to switch the midi midi channel depending on which key is hit Z = C1 = Midi Channel 1, X = D1 = Midi Channel 2, and so on.
This lets me setup each midi channel in gigastudio with a different instrument, play them on the prodikeys, and switch between them using the qwerty keyboard.

What I can't figure out, is how to do a Keyswitch/midi-channel straight in midi-ox without Yellow Tools. There must be a way? I've read http://www.midiox.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=MAPS;action=display;num=1110745034
but the techniques there just don't seem work using the qwerty keyboard. At least I couldn't figure it out.

I don't mind using Yellow tools, but it seems midi-ox should be able to handle it straight. Sorry if this is really and easy thing to do, I'm just not seeing it.

Not sure on this... I'm guessing it's around the internally generated events. You maybe need to loop them back through MIDI OX to get them to have an effect?
