fl studio multiple sequencers to hardware (SOLVED)

[chaosWyrM]

ok....i asked this in the hardware forum and then realized i should have asked it here...so thats what im doing:

so, im still new to using hardware and still a bit confused about some things.

i only just realized that in fl studio i can use multiple instances of midi out and assign separate channels to my daisy chained synths and have them all playing different things simultaneously. up to now, i was just using the one midi out and using my mixer to mute the synths i wasnt working on.

it works great if im just using the piano roll for the individual midi outs...but here im getting a bit stumped. im trying to use sequencers in fl studio to trigger the hardware, but i cant seem to figure out how to have each midi out have its own sequencer. there doesnt seem to be an input selector on the midi out so they all just use 0 making it impossible to use more than 1 at a time.

so for example....i set up the virus with a midi out on channel 1, and the dx200 with another midi out on channel 2...then i add nora which i want to use to trigger the dx200 (which it does) but the midi outs all only seem to receive info on 0...so nora always triggers everything or nothing.

ideally id like to be able to have multiple sequencers going to the multiple midi outs to the hardware...but i cant seem to figure out how (or even if) thats possible.

thnx for any help.

Set each h/w midi to a unique port in the fls midi setting.
Change the midiout plugin ports accordingly to establish communication with destinations.

Read the manual, it explains al that in details.

there is only 1 hardware midi...they are daisy chained...but on separate channels.

and thats the problem...i dont see a way to change the midiout to receive information from the sequencer(s). they all play or none of them do, i dont see where i can change it.

and i have read the manual....several times...it does not cover what im trying to do....at least i didnt see it.

::edit::

no matter how many midiouts i use...there is only ever one in the midi options menu. it doesnt add new one for each instance if it did i dont think i would have this issue.

You’re in the wrong area. YouTube it like I said.

that is not helpful at all. i already know how to and have set up the midi channels. they are all playing correctly on the individual midiouts.

what im trying to do is trigger those individual midiouts with individual sequencers.

do you have 4 midi cables exiting your PC or only one?

ok...i appreciate the response....but that is not the issue. unless you think im misunderstanding the problem. in which case...if you know the answer...please just tell it to me. if im having a hard time with this...blindly searching youtube vids isnt going to help me. and its already something ive done for 2 days.

if you know what video i should watch....just tell me what it is please.

so why even consider ports 2 thru 4?

[chaosWyrM]

yes...i already watched that. it doesnt cover what im trying to do...or maybe i didnt recognize the part i should have.

i already have everything set up and working correctly. i already can play all my hardware separately on individual channels with my controller. i already can use the piano roll on each one and have them all play different things at the same time.

what i can not do is have individual sequencer vts target individual midiouts to trigger the hardware separately. i can not have like an instance of nora and an instance of nova each running different sequences to different h/w synths.

for fls midiouts. if i could change them individually it would work fine, but i cant so it doesnt.

[chaosWyrM]

can anyone confirm if what i want to do is even possible in fls?
