Title: Data-Mapping only for some In/Out-relations PLEASE
Post by sequencer on Sep 15^th, 2001, 10:11am

Hi,

great program so far. What I would really like to see is, that in the Data-Mapping the port would be an parameter.

Now, I can only say that Data from channel 1 should be mapped to channel 2 for example. This affects ALL input ports. It would be great if I could do Data-mapping separately for every In/Out-relation I had defined in the MIDI-Devices-Dialog.

I have a 8-Port Midi-Interface with several Keyboards and Synthezisers connected. This feature would give me total control in the data-flow for a live-session.

Thank you in advance!

Thomas

Thanks for the suggestions. A viable work-around is to use more than one MIDI-OX instance: you can setup a different mapping for each running instance.

Thank you for quick answer.

I tried this already, but then I can't use the same In/Out twice. In the Device-dialog I get only a small popup ('! Midex4: OK') and the relation is not active (already in use). I have the new Steinberg Midex8-Interface and I fear it's driver is not multiclient-capable :(

Do you think it's generally possible to implement this "Free Data Mapping"?

Many Thanks!

Thomas

P.S: What do other users think about this? Thanks to all replies!

That's too bad that the Midex does not seem to be multi-client. I continue to be astounded that newly released drivers remain single-client. ::)

A work-around for single-client output drivers is to use several instances of MIDI-OX attached together via MIDI Yoke ports (MIDI Yoke is multi-client). For instance, say you have 2 input ports that you want to use with different maps, and you want to send them both out of a single-client output port:

1) Open the 1st MIDI-OX instance and configure Hardware MIDI Input 1 and MIDI Yoke Out 1, enable your custom Map 1.

2) Open the 2nd MIDI-OX instance and configure Hardware MIDI Input 2 and MIDI Yoke Out 1, enable your custom Map 2.

3) Open the 3rd MIDI-OX instance and configure MIDI Yoke In 1 and your single-client Hardware MIDI Output.

If you envision this, there are two parallel MIDI-OX instances 'Y'ing into another MIDI-OX instance further downstream.

Of course it is possible to make data-mapping work at the port level, but it is a fairly large undertaking, that would entail redesign of the entire data-mapping feature and the port mapping feature. Still, I am inclined to consider this for a future version of the program.

Thank you, I'll try this! :)

The next version of MIDI-OX will allow you to attach individual translation maps between each Inport - Outport connection. ;)

Thank you very much! You have by far the greatest customer-support I've ever seen!
