. Never or not right now.

I have sold off all but a small collection of hardware synths, and I use primarily software and control surfaces when possible. My MIDI cables and 8x8 and 4x4 midi interface are rarely used. However, there are plenty of scenarios where I might want the OPTION of using channels 12-16.

Hi, Cornieleous - I don't understand your post.  What does selling off your hardware have to do with not needing MIDI channels 12 through 16--?  Software synths use the same MIDI spec, the same channels, 1 through 16---Where did this whole odd concept come from of not needing all of them?  Haven't you ever put together a project that needs more than 16 channels?  Many of us are doing projects that need 4, 5, 6 sets of 16 MIDI channels.------

I don't get this thread--And I really don't get your post, Cornieleous--you want the OPTION of using channels 12-16--Well, yeah?!  Why wouldn't you--?

I'm a #1 & #2.

On a synth I rarely, if ever, get anywhere near channels 12-16.

In my live set up I use channels 15 & 16 exclusively for controlling patch changes on processors. I chose those 2 channels 'cos I knew I was unlikely to use them for anything else. I could change but it'd be a real pain.

I don't get the question.


Nor me, yet I still get the feeling #3 would be the preferred feedback just by the way the question is worded/weighted.  It may as well read "Are you a 'stick in the mud' traditionalist or you flexible and forward thinking".

I'll use channels 12-16 when I've used up more than 11 channels on a particular port, simple as that.

Mostly these days one can assign whatever channel to whatever purpose you give it so it does seem to me a strange question.

I chose #3 because I don't care, provided I can control what goes where, like I can with most anything these days.

e.g Props. Reason did away with the concept of channels years ago it's all channel 0, it gets differentiated by the device in the rack you are sending midi to via Rewire rather than a channel assignment so there is no 16 channel limit, yet something like the venerable TTS-1 still uses the GM standard channel 10 for the drum track although I imagine even that is configurable via a few bytes of sysex.

Now I'm even more confused! That's option #1, isn't it? I see some people explaining their choice, then voting with a number that doesn't seem to represent it.

I wish bitman would come back...

Channel 12 turns on my USB blender for 4 o clock Margarita's
Channel 13 lets the dog out.
Channel 15 used to control my Reverb I never use any more
Channel 16 is the send channel on my Korg Poly 3000 and I forget how to change this.
Channel 17 is broken.

Yay.

But I meant I wish you'd come back and do some 'splainin'. If it's a new CS plugin, (i.e. post #15 was a "winner"), why not just say so? I don't see how you can get accurate responses without giving people a clue what they'd be giving up their channels for.

I did some splainin in the bcr2000 bcf2000 thread of late.
I do have something good and cookin and will officially announce it here when it is time.

I found out what I needed to know and that is the code will have to have more flexibility with regards  to the stating midi channel of the CS array. This will delay it but make it better in the long run.

Thank you all for weighing in. It did give you all something to do while we wait for X1C.

@ Susan

Here is what I would substitute AJ's plug in for......

...obviously Bitman is asking for the last 5 midi channels because he plans to make a 5-unit configuration possible with his software!

Yep, I found that thread last night. Sounds interesting.

I dont have any hardware synths but i do use control surfaces. They always work on Midi Channel 1 with the exception of my BCR2000 which I have set up with AJ's control surface plug in which works as I recall on Midi Channel 16. I suspect however that this poll refers to a substitution o fthat plug in so I would happily drop that plug in and use a newer and better one. So I guess Im ....

That's cool... so are other control surfaces in the picture too?

Oh, and I guess I'm #3.

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.
