plugin question

Post by Bertotti »

I didn't know where to put this up or how to approach it. Mt question is do you know of any software that will allow me to use multiple external synths in my DAW, logic pro, and treat them polyphonically?

example in case I used a incorrect term. If I have multiple external synths connected or heck even vst/au plugins running. I would like to be able to play each consecutively or as chords by my controller in the order the keys are pressed, polyphony. Apr, Minitaur, Minilogue, if I press three keys each key will generate a note for each respective synth. Polyphone limited to the number of external synths or vsts/aus you have running.

Did that make any sense? Any way that is what I am looking to do but I haven't found a plugin or program to allow it yet.

Advice suggestions / welcome or if your a programmer maybe it is a project you will find worthy. I do not know how to program something like this.

Is it possible in your setup to set different keyboard zones to different MIDI channels, and set each synth to respond to a different MIDI channel?

Hi,

Just to check that I understand it correctly. If you press multiple notes at once, the notes are distributed over your available synths. The order does not matter, meaning, the first hit note can go to any of the synths, and does not necessarily need to go first to the Arp. Right?

Not sure that there is software out there doing this, but with an Arduino, it is possible to redistribute received notes to other MIDI channels and hence to different synths.

voip I am not looking to create zones I just think it would be fun to have my external or multiple vst/au synths triggered by individual key presses. If I hit a three finger chord one note from three different synths would play.

OpAmp I will look into Arduino.

Thanks you guys for the suggestions!
