I am struggling to setup a keyboard split. The goal is to configure the lower half of the keyboard to play on channel 2 and the upper half on channel 3.
I have the “MIDI Keysplit” FX setup for channel/layer 1. The MIDI Keysplit FX is configured with the filter channel set to channel 1 with the lower and upper set to 2 and 3 respectively. When I play my keyboard on channel 1, I don’t hear any output from the synths setup on layers 2 and 3. Am I missing something ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I just updated the software via the web interface so the version should be the latest stable version of Zynthian.
After doing a backup , I would suggest fixing to the testing branch or even better the mixer- midi-learn branch. Which have upto date fixes for this area… But don’t forget to make a backup, or better still burn a sperate SSD card…
I learned the hard way about the importance of backups . They get done on a regular basis now. I will look into the other branches and the Note Range & Transpose setting. Thank you for the quick response!
I use the MIDI rule because my 7 in. touch screen is finicky when I use my finger or a stylus to change octaves/notes. I always seem to overshoot E4 or -1/+2 octaves. And the rule is saved as a preset that I can recall when needed.
I made a snapshot with a split Eb4-E4. A LinuxSampler piano is on the left and an OB-Xd lead is on the right. I pre-transposed the piano in a LinuxSampler sfz, and I adjusted the Lead octaves in Ob-Xd.
I am using stage mode, but this works in multi mode too. CH0 loads a piano, CH1 loads a DX, CH2 loads a Rhodes and CH3/C12 loads the split. The logic is:
Ignore CH3 notes E4 and above; Ignore CH12 notes below.
Remap CH3 high notes to CH12
Clone all controllers from CH3 to CH12.
