Title: Can more Data Maps be used at the same time?
Post by mokusmisi on Jun 24^th, 2009, 12:17pm

I have 8 different VST plugins (organs and synthesisers) on my notebook.
I have succeeded to create from one input port a port mapping structure where each of the incoming midi channels of the input port is mapped to a different MIDIYOKE port.
Because sometimes 4-5 VST instruments need work simultaneously at a time I need to have for each them a corresponding Data Map.
I have prepared for most of the different VST instruments a corresponding data map. Each of these data maps are saved separately and they are visible among the Port Map Objects.
I can drag and drop them to the appropriate part of the Port Mapping window, but I cannot manage to make them active.
I can only do data mapping if I open the Data Map window, load the map and turn it to be active. But this case that (only one) data map is active for all the output ports.
I suspect that I am missing something, because if there is a possibility by doing "drag and drop actions" to join different Data Maps to different output ports, there shall be a way to make them work.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance!

The MIDI Devices method of routing is kind of obsolete. Much better, more stable and reliable is to use the Routing Window: View | Port Routings.... Each input->output connection can have a custom map assigned.

Thank you very much for your answer!

Unfortunately I could not find in the 'view' menu the "port routing" tab there was only the "port status" tab. No I recognized that I used the earlier version of MIDIOX. I have just downloaded the latest version and found the "port routing" tab.

So thanks again...

Good! You must have had an ancient version of MIDI-OX before... :)
