Change MIDI Channel on Specific Notes (Answered)
I'm using Session Horns (Native Instruments), and it has a way to modify the articulation of specific notes played by specific horns by sending just those notes to a different MIDI channel. What I've been doing is opening the Event Viewer and the Piano Roll View and clicking on the note in the PRV that I want to modify. That note is then highlighted in the EV, and from there I can change its MIDI channel. Session Horns then applies my selected articulation to that note (or group of notes, as in a chord). Does anyone know if there's a more direct way to change the MIDI channel of a single note (or sometimes group of notes)? That is, by opening fewer windows on my already cluttered screen? It would speed things up if, for example, I could change the MIDI channel from the PRV, but that doesn't seem possible. Thanks for any ideas!

Thanks! If it does what the title says, though, it's not what I need. Session Horns wants to read just one track, and it applies a different articulation to any note that's sent to a different MIDI channel. (I may be using wrong terminology, because I'm just a simple guitar player.)

If it's just the occasional note - I think you can right click the note in the piano roll view and change it there. - or as Scook says - pre select the notes and change them with the event inspector module.

scook The Event Inspector Module can change channel for one or more notes at a time.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Scook's suggestion about the Event Inspector Module is what I needed. FYI, if you right-click a note in the PRV you delete it.

Yes, if the Smart tool is selected; double-click displays properties. Right-click will bring up properties when using the Select Tool.

HI:) @Larry Jones Are you sure, the articulations are on another midi channel?? In Session Hors Pro they are keyswitches from C-1 to G#-1, so you don't need another midichannel, never heard of that! Bassman.

Yes, I'm sure. I am using the basic version of Session Horns, not Session Horns Pro, so that might be the difference. Also, I'm not talking about playing live -- I am editing articulations after the track is recorded. I learned about this from this video. Look at it from 2:56 to see what I'm talking about. The video uses Logic as the host DAW, so I stumbled around in SONAR for a while trying to figure out how to do this, and you can see in this thread what I've learned.

This is even better! Thanks again, Scook.

Thanks for the correction. I've accidentally deleted notes by right clicking -plenty of times. I believe the older versions brought up the properties with the right click and it's still burned in.

@Larry Jones >>>I learned about this from this video. Look at it from 2:56 to see what I'm talking about. Now I understand, it works with different Instances within Kontakt. But can you see the red keys in the piano roll ath the left in the video? These are normally the articulation keys... Bassman.

Bassman - The keyboard is not displayed by default in my version. When I turned it on I saw the red keys but I can't find a way to use them for anything. They are not mentioned in the manual, and in the SoS review I read, the reviewer laments the fact that you can't use key switches for articulation. I googled, but the answers I found were a.) impossible for me to understand, and/or b.) relating to Session Horns Pro, which I do not have. So I'm guessing this is an arbitrary limitation NI puts on the entry level product, to encourage me to buy the full version.
