Bitwig

I used to easily poly-chain several instances of Legend in Ableton Live using a free M4L device called "Polymind." Of course there's no M4L in Bitwig, so I'm searching for a way to replicate this. Basically I just want to run 4 instances of Legend, each in 4 note polyphony mode for a total of 16 note polyphony. I tried Xhip's Notelogic, but I can't see any way to properly set it up. Is this just not possible in Bitwig?

Use an instrument Layer and channel filter in front of your Legend. Fill 4 slots with that...

That only works if you have a way to distribute incoming notes across 4 midi channels.

There is also a channel mapper, in case you don't have a MPE controler...; - )

A channel mapper will not alternate midi notes all coming in on channel 1 across channels 1-4

Put in a note counter in the channel map to switch the channel of each incoming note to create a kind of channel round robin:

Set the modulation depth for the counter to 3.
Each layer receives on a different channel.

Works for me

Cheers,

Tom

The sustain needs to go to all instances somehow...
Test if Piz MidiPolyphony does it correctly...

You could also try a note layer device and see if you can make the sustain go to all channels at once.
I think all the elements are there, but didn't try it myself.

Cheers,
