Hi, here's a screen recording of trying to use the Note Dispatcher in Round Robin mode. What I want to do is round robin one incoming note (C#-1, the "Special Key") between the two outputs (ideally, the first output would get C#-1, the second D-1 but that mode isn't available). I've obviously misunderstood the documentation... that or it's not working... as when I send the special key in, nothing comes out.

What I was going to do after having C#-1 come out alternately from each output is add another note mapper to one to map C#-1 to D-1. As I only need to do this twice (per patch), it's not too much overhead -- but without being able to have C#-1 go alternately to two outputs, I'm blocked.

So if there's an alternative -- stepping a sequence of two notes, essentially, based on a single trigger note -- I'd like to hear it, too.

In the Note Dispatcher set Num Outputs to 2 and set the Special Key to No Key.
Then any note will switch between outs 1 and 2.

So I'd then need a note filter to select the note I want, the note dispatcher to switch between two outs and then a note mapper on one out to adjust that note. Having all that in one plugin would be handy.

I thought you wanted one note to alternate between 2 outs. That's what my solution does. But if you need some more specific routing then yes possibly you can do it using more modules. That's the power of simple modules: You can build up your own flexible MUX solution and save it as a preset. Adding a specific complete module for each and every use case is not the plan.

Here's the full "map incoming MIDI events to specific triggers" project. I've got one project for each set of incoming MIDI events with the same outgoing triggers. It's easy enough to do after the first one. (Just turned the new bit into a MUX, saved it and loaded that into the other two projects for this, then refreshed ("reverted") the other copies of each project to pick up the change.) One "per incoming trigger" mapper to map to the outgoing set, then the MUX to handle the places I need to add the "left" to "round-robin left/right alternating".
