Title: How to seperate midiyoke channels?
Post by Thomas on Sep 4^th, 2006, 7:13pm

???Hi,
I am working with Sibelius Notation program together with EastWest Silver,and Gold edition.
Untill now I used up to 16 channels with midiyoke 1.
however, if I ask in Sibelius to play the next amount of instruments(after channel 16) to play in midiyoke 2,(starting with channel 1up to 16 in midiyoke 2) it stills plays the instruments from midiyoke 1 aswell. How can I set the settings in such a way that ever midiyoke will play its own 16 channels (or 3 channels would be fine,allready) without having the parrallel other chanels from 1 -16 playing at the same time?

I tried setting the routings in the mid ox . But the PC will not listen to it. What are the steps by steps way to reach my independent 8 midi yokes? (plus channels)
Thank you so much,
Thomas Penders

I'm not sure I've understood what you're saying happens, so let me try to clarify.

It sounds like you're saying Sibelius is sending the same data to all open MIDI ports. How have you told Sibelius which port to use for a particular instrument? Does Sibelius support more than 16 channels? How do you route a channel to a particular MIDI port?

If Sibelius cannot address more than 16 channels, then you'll only be able to have 16 instruments at the same time. If you can live with that limitation, MIDI OX can help route different instruments to different channels on different MIDI Yoke ports (but will use one MIDI Yoke port up). That will then allow you to have more than 16 instruments loaded (by hand - you lose also the ability to send Program Change messages) ready to play. (You really don't want to try this... It either means setting up 128 patch mappings or getting into MIDI OX Scripting... :()

No sibelius works with only with 16 channels.
But I should be able to load at least 8 to 16 channels per Midiyoke? (8 midiyokes x 16 channels?)
If so, how do I make sibelius and my eastwest gold kompakt player know this and make it start loading Midi yoke 2 and so on?

With GPO and other software, I have 8 independent players plus each 8 slots to load instruments. Sibelius does understand to go from player 1 to player 2 and so on...(64 instruments)
But why not from midiyoke 1 to midiyoke 2 without playing midiyoke 1 at the same moment as midiyoke 2.?
I hope you can help me.
If not, how do i set up the Midiox channels?
until now, sibelius would freeze and no connetions with the kompaktplayer if i used midiox.
Thanks again.

In Sibelius, can you choose which MIDI Port to use for a particular MIDI Channel?

Okay, this is how it works , I finnaly got the problem.
yes you can indicate in Sibelius the Midi port as wel the 8 midi channels.However, any one out there with Kompakt player should know that under the set up of Kompakt player you should turn all other midi ports off. Only click on the ones you are using. (the same midiyoke in-out port).
If you don,t all the ports will play the same thing at the same moment.
Looks quit simple, but if you don,t know it can cost you a day of frustration.
Anyway ,Peter, thanks for your advice, it worked.
