Is it possible to block (ignore) an entire MIDI channel in the filter without the need to define a rule for every event type ? I have multiple devices communicating over MIDI and I do want to block certain channels from routing to avoid loops so something like IGNORE CH#9 (without further arguments) or IGNORE CH#9 * would be very handy.
Please, describe in a detailed way your setup … perhaps we could find a better way.
Currently there is no way of blocking an entire channel. You have to define rules for every event type:
IGNORE CH#2 NON#0:127
IGNORE CH#2 NOFF#0:127
IGNORE CH#2 CC#0:127
IGNORE CH#2 PC#0:127
IGNORE CH#2 KP#0:127
IGNORE CH#2 CP
IGNORE CH#2 PB
Anyway, blocking an entire channel could be useful. Please, create a feature request on the issue tracker and i will try to implement it ASAP:
Thanks,
Blocking an entire channel or even channel range can indeed be useful. OTOH generating the required text rules for every channel is not that big a deal, especially when you compare with this:
Note the lack of “select all” and such. To block everything on a single port, that’s 112+11 clicks on the mouse, and that potentially x2 to handle both input and output. On a device that can have several dozens of ports.

There is an option on the Zynthian’s Admin for blocking “Sytem” messages. It’s also on webconf’s MIDI optons. But there is no rule on the MIDI filter system
