Hm. Running MIDI guitar with 6 channels in. I filter note-offs (vel<=60) and pitchbend in order to provide a nice steady held gate to my arps & step-seq's. Then I have to mono-ize the output (because of course no note-off's are arriving and I don't want notes to stack). So.... data comes out of the channel splitter into a collection of mono-izers (1 per channel). These mono-izer's replace the note-off's, but they wait until the next note-on before they insert them. If I insert a monitor anywhere BEFORE the channel splitter all is well.
*BUT* here's the rub: I'm receiving note-off's from other channels coming out of the outputs of the mono-izer's, for example (using a monitor attached to any specific mono-izer I can see this), I'll see a note-on arrive from the channel 6 output, which is fine, but I'll also see a note-off from another channel, which should not even be able to come out of the channel 6 output. How and why would a note-off from channel 1 arrive at the channel 6 output? Why should triggering a new note-on on channel 6 automagically create a note-off on channel 1? These channels should all be absolutely discrete and have no cross-talk between them. It's like the mono-izer's, or maybe the splitter, are sharing the same memory space in some way and leaking.
I have no auto-focus and my project midi focus is hard set to the first module in the series.
I realize most people play keys and use few channels so I'm not sure how much assistance I can get... here's hoping... thanks!
Yet Another Noob With Channel Splitter Issues

Is this inside a PolySynth? (I have no idea if that should or will make a difference...)

There is a little bug in the "Monophonic Note Tracker" module: The automatically generated note-offs can be on another channel than the incoming notes. That has been fixed in the next main version M8. Note however that the Monophonic Note Tracker is not a multi-channel module so even in M8 when you feed notes on different channels they will choke each-other, but in M8 the generated note-offs will use the same channel as the first new unlegatod note-on.
In M7 you can bypass that bug by adding a "MIDI Channel Remapper" module after the Monophonic Note Tracker and set all channels to the same target channel.

Are you saying that even though the channels have been split, and that following the splitter each channel has been given it's own unique mono-sizer, that a new note on any channel will STILL choke notes on the other channels?

The Monophonic Note Tracker is not working multi-channelled so whatever channel the note comes in it will be taken into account.
But you can use a Channel splitter before the Monophonic Note Tracker(s) to ensure a proper multi-channeled operation.
That's besides the note-off channel bug i mentioned in my earlier post. That bug will be fixed in M8. Until then you can bypass the bug by putting a Channel Remapper after the Monophonic Note Tracker so to force a single channel.

Hi! Did the note-off channel bug you mention above get fixed? I've been holding off on updating MUX waiting for that - thanks!
