Routing examples

A few typical setups to adapt to your instruments. Each one can be saved in a slot.

Two layered synths, one an octave lower

1. Connect the keyboard to both synths.
2. On the arrow to the second synth, turn on Transpose at −12.
3. If you like, lower the second synth's velocity with Scale at 70% to keep it in the background.

A monophonic bass from the left hand

1. Have the left hand play on its own channel (many keyboards have a split), or use a second keyboard.
2. On the connection to the bass synth: Input channels with that channel only, then Mono.
3. With Mono + Hold the note keeps sounding until you play the next one, like organ bass pedals; the sustain pedal ends it.

Pads on the drum channel

Many pads and controllers send on channel 1, while General MIDI drum machines receive on channel 10. On the connection to the drum machine, turn on Channel router and send channel 1 to channel 10.

A DAW playing hardware instruments

1. Create a virtual input, for example "From DAW", and connect it to the sound module.
2. In the DAW, choose "From DAW" as the track's MIDI output.
3. To record from the keyboard, create a virtual output "To DAW", connect the keyboard to it and choose it as the input in the DAW.

This way the DAW always sees the same two ports, whatever instrument you connect in the patchbay.

Several keyboards to the same sound module

Connect each keyboard to the same sound module and use the channel router to send them on different channels: each keyboard plays a different part of the multitimbral module.

Removing messages that get in the way

With the Event type filter, remove the Active Sensing or Clock some instruments send all the time, or exclude a controller with the CC list (for example 1 for modulation).
