Hi guys, I'm working on an instrument that receives 2 midi inputs and I dont have 2 keyboards nor the hand speed to play what is supposed to go in them.
Is there a way to make synthmaker recieve midi channel information from separate channels coming from a DAW? For example:"I have 2 diferent channels playing 2 different things and I want to receive them separately in synthmaker"
This is for testing purposes! Thanks in advance.

You mean, your instrument have two actual MIDI inputs, as in "two of those red circles in SM"? One should do it, just separate the incoming data according to MIDI channel.

You mean MIDI channels or MIDI tracks? SM can receive data from different MIDI channels. What´s more, SM doesn´t care about MIDI channels unless you specifically wire your schematic to use the channel information. And at least in Cubase/Nuendo and Sonar, you can route different tracks to the same MIDI port, so it should be possible for your instrument to receive MIDI data from different tracks.

I dont think I've explained myself properly. I need to have both cubase and synthmaker on. And while I'm working on synthmaker to create my vst instrument, I'd like to receive midi messages from cubase. Is that possible?

Ah, ok, now I get it. You can do that by using a "virtual MIDI cable". The only one I´ve used is called Midi Yoke. It´s a little bit old, but I remember it to work ok. Once installed, Midi Yoke will appear as a set of MIDI input and output ports. Then you can set Cubase to send MIDI thru, for example, port 1, and set SM to listen to that same port.

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for the help but unforunatley I cant get it to work on Win7 64bit.

Yeah Win 7 64 can be problematic on that one. Use this LoopBe1 http://www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html

Ah, nice one Attic - will be migrating to Win7 soon (under duress!!), and had heard that MIDIYoke was problematic.

I purchased the full version after having issues with other midi port software on Win7 64. Just so you know it works flawlessly under Win 64 and costs very little + they have that free version if that is all you need. You wont feel under duress for long, Win7 64 is solid more efficient and yes I had my reservations before the move but it has been painless for almost two years now. +++More Ram!!! 😉
