Happily (well, i could not get the VirtualJV working initially as i stupidly deployed an X86_64 version in there… ) i eventually decided to rewrite the IMG file to the card, boot up, update to vangelis and everything showed up nicely.
Now, when i add a pair of engines (it could be any one of them), i start with addine one to midi channel 1, the next one will default to channel 2, etc.
But when i now try to switch midi-channel in my DAW, expecting “X” to be audiable on channel 1 and “Y” to be audiable on channel “Y”, i only hear “X” on both channels.
Terribly sorry if this is a n00b question, but is not the whole idea behind assigning one engine per midi channel to being able to separate them like that? What am I missing? (I’m sure its something rather silly so please help me out)

ah, ok so it is possible I’m unfortunately not in front of a physical device (but that will certainly change in the future) but the VNC screen. Then I’ll investigate this a bit more. Thank you wyleu
By default, each MIDI input is set to Chain Mode which will play the currently selected chain. You can change each input to be Multichannel Mode so that it plays the chains of the MIDI Input.
Thx Riban. As i’m on a VNC client, looking at the “Admin” menu (where i can see the ‘Active midi channel’ checkbox, i can’t for the life of me find anything that has to do with multitimbral operation What menu might that be inside?
When you get to the options of a chain, by bold-pressing on it in the mixer view, you are showed the Midi In menu, where, again by bold press, you can choose whether the instrument loaded in the same chain responds to whatever incoming Midi channel is sent to the currently selected chain (chain mode aka active mode) or the Zynth functions multitimbrally, as a 16-channel Midi expander.
Please, be advised that the multitimbral operation is signalled by a graphic logo with parallel horizontal arrows, and that, once enabled in a chain, it affects any other Midi tracks of the current snapshot.
Therefore, you can only operate in full active of full multi-timbral mode, at least as far as the current Oram stable release goes.
