Title: Switching Samples in Sequencer with Midi Keyboard?
Post by Maximus on Mar 11^th, 2002, 7:32pm

HI folks:

I would like to know if Midiox can help with the following:

On my PC, I am using Fruity Loops sequencer with a low-end Casio keyboard as a midi controller. I am using Fruity's soundfont sampler plug-in with a soundfont bank of instruments on a channel.

I would like to be able to switch various instrument patches (soundfonts) while performing on the keyboard. I know that high-end software samplers like Gigastudio and Halion can provide 'keyswitching" facilities so you can use your keyboard keys to instantly switch samples.

Anyone know if this is possible using Midiox?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Max

MIDI-OX has several different built-in methods for sending patch changes. The Control Panel has 2 ways, and the Instrument Panel has a menu selector, although it requires an instrument definition to be terribly useful.
