Yes, that deselect thing will work, if you want to have multiple midi channels on that input. Say, leave only 2 and 4 "selected", and grey out the others.dellboy wrote:Goodness, I do believe that I have found the answer to my problem.chico.co.uk wrote:This isn't the place for "I don't know how to do this, so I'm going to moan that it can't be done", it's a beta testing thread, but you've been able to do this for years in Tracktion, although it's not very obvious, or intuitive.dellboy wrote:Setup a template with two audio inputs and two midi inputs,which is the maximum for tracktions antiquated input system with two different midi keyboards as inputs.

Go to the Settings tab, Midi Devices, and click "Create new Virtual Midi Input". Call it whatever, let's say "Test". Click on the new "Test" input in the list. In the properties for the Test input, click on "Select Midi Inputs", and assign whichever hardware keyboard or controller you want associated with that.
Repeat for however many midi inputs you want to use simultaneously on multiple tracks. You can set them to use different midi channels, if that's what you send from your keyboard, to seperate key zones, or whatever.
Assign the new midi inputs to as many multiple tracks as you like, when you're recording.
Please post separate threads for things you want to do, but don't think you can.
In the midi filter you have to deselect whatever midi channel you do not want to play by greying them out.
I have been trying to select the midi channel I want by selecting it white.
Now I can set up an 8 track template with vsts assigned and use my midi keyboard to select tracks.
If you want to have just one midi channel per input, it's easier to type the midi channel number into the field below there, for that input. Eg, to set an input to only listen to midi channel 10, set it up like this;
.... apparently I can't post a picture, I get an error saying the "board attachment limit has been reached". Some bug with the forum software.
On the input properties, underneath where it says "Midi Filter" and the list of 1-16 buttons, there's a field for "Channel". Just type the number 10 in there, and that input only gets input on midi channel 10.
If you create 16 virtual inputs, numbered 1-16, you can swap between filtering one midi channel or another easily enough. I'm not saying this is ideal, or obvious, but it will work, and once you've set it up once, and maybe saved a template, (or whole track presets) you're good to go.
