This filter is extremely useful in many other circumstances as well, even very complex ones, like for example if you use 2 master keyboards to play 2 instruments activated in the same channel of the console.

The same thing can be done with sustain pedal, modulation wheel, aftertouch, and others. This important processor can be used to achieve many purposes: for instance, using the aforementioned 2-instruments setup, if you need the pitch bend wheel to only drive one of the two instruments, you simply filter the pitch bend MIDI messages in the routing of the other instrument. This is a powerful MIDI filter that can be adjusted to exclude any kind of MIDI data.

These features, combined with those from Global MIDI Routing, allow you to design setups specific for every situation, and for every musician. Hence each channel in the console and every patch, besides loading its own instruments and sounds, benefits from settings of key mappings, split points, layers, transpositions, dynamic curves, specific for every instrument and for every program.

The Channel MIDI Routing allows you to process MIDI data in input and output for any channel of the mixing console, to create specific mappings, splits and keyboard layers, to set dynamic response and transposition and to recall sounds and volume values: this way the musician can maintain control of software instruments and effects activated in the mixing console, as well as external MIDI instruments and effects that he or she will use, either alone or together with the software ones.Įach mixer channel, thus each musician, has an independent Channel MIDI Routing system of its own, whose settings are saved and recalled along with the patches of that channel.
