Select a different Output for MIDI channel

Hi!

Would it be possible to add the option to choose a different output for each MIDI channel? For example, channel 4 to headphone jack output, and the other channels to speaker output.

Thank you!

Re: Select a different Output for MIDI channel

Well, this is not just "an option", but a full feature 😂
And really hard to implement... 🙄

It would require splitting the incoming MIDI stream to two (or more) separate rendering threads, keep those threads synchronized, send "common" MIDI messages (like volume) to all of them, change the UI to allow device selection...

I suppose it would be easier for you to:

  • set VMS to create two (or more) virtual devices
  • pre-split the MIDI stream before it reaches VMS (with tools like MidiOX) into two (or more) sub-streams
  • attach each substream to a separate VMS device

AFAIR another user on the forum already did this.
He asked for VMS to be able to render only some channels and drive-through the others to an external MIDI device...
