Beatstep Pro MIDI timing in WF 11 PRO

[Cantbeeaten]

I am having a lot of issues getting solid timing with my Arturia Beatstep Pro.

Fundamentally, I hope to be able to control 3 VST synths on 3 MIDI tracks with Input Monitoring enabled. I've found a way to let me do this with the MIDI Patch Bay Plugin, which I use as a filter on each MIDI channel to Block all other Channels. I wasn't able to set a MIDI channel for each track/VST, as these changes appeared to be global to the BSP (i.e. if I set the BSP input to channel #1 on track 1, it would also change the BSP to channel #1 on track 2... etc.)

Unfortunately, this workaround (using the Patch Bay on each track) seems to cause more instability in the MIDI clock timing, to the point where the DAW is unusable.

I've searched around here and have tried a few "fixes" such as toggling "Use MIDI Driver for MIDI Timing," which hasn't seemed to work so far.

I'm coming from Cubase (10+years) where MIDI tracks can have a discrete channel assignment while sharing an input device. Is there something I'm missing in the settings maybe?

Since the BSP is pretty popular, has anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks in advance, I've really trying to get into the WF Pro workflow, and have been hitting some hurdles.

I'm not a midi expert, but I think you have to create multiple virtual midi inputs in settings > midi devices, then you can add each input to separate tracks and set the midi channel for each in the control panel or actions bar.

Cheers, I'll give this a shot!

This worked to solve my MIDI filerting issue! However, the clock is still really unstable. I will continue troubleshooting that.

Update: timing has improved after turning off retrospective record!
