I would like limit the midi channel that comes out of the midi out. Is this possible? I’m trying to reduce the cable count, for my portable setup. I’m using an external sequencer to play notes on multiple channels, and all of note data seems to come out of midi out. I would like only ch2 for example.
Just to check, we’re talking about the DIN Midi ports, and you’re using MIDI Out, not Thru?
Yes Din midi out, I’m sure I have everything connected correctly.

Just swapped midi out and thru. No midi coming out of thru. Need to double check my connections inside later. How do I test midi out? Can I route my usb midi keyboard directly to midi out?

MIDI out can be tested either by running the sequencer, or using the Test Midi option under the Admin menu. In the web conf there is the Midi Options menu, and you can tick the advanced button to use Midi filters and set the Midi out ports.
Do I understand this correctly?
By default USB midi will be routed to DIN midi out
By using midi filter rules I can IGNORE [ch##??] to block what midi comes out of DIN midi out
By default all MIDI input is connected to Zynthian’s MIDI router which feeds the various engines as well as MIDI outputs. If you want to disable an input you can do so in webconf.
By default Zynthian’s MIDI router is only fed to physical 5-pin DIN MIDI output. If you want to enable an output you can do so in webconf.
MIDI filters apply to everything so if you filter out channels they won’t get to anywhere. I don’t think this works for your use case.
You can add a MIDI FX layer with the MIDI Channel Filter and set it to pass just channel 2.
I can’t test this at the moment and notice that routing to USB outputs does not seem to work for me.
