a few questions

I know we can set up a keyboard to play more than one vsti what I am looking for is info on the ability to create a situation were the lower half of the keyboard is set up to play say a pad sound from one vsti and the upper half is set up to play a lead sound from a different vsti?
 
Also I attempting to use perfect space but I can't seem to find the data necessary to load a prese,t when I clicked load it opens up in my documents file were my patch data is for my vsti's and I have looked all over for something on my hard drive to try and see if a file in some cakewalk folder has my presets or whatever it is I need to use my perfect space reverb. If anyone knows were I might find this data it would be cool of you to let me know were I might find it. I had a dreadful thought that maybe it did not install it and its missing.

    In perfect space there is an icon at the top of the plugin to select an impulse to be used to generate the reverb. The icon looks like a file.

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    The above link talks about splitting your keyboard to different synths. I've never done this.

    One last tip. When you have a plugin open, you can hit F1 for help on how to use it. Not all plugins support this.

    checked that thread out they were suggesting using cantabile and or forte in tone will do it as well I was hoping to at least be able to do a split layer within sonar but it doesn't appear to be possible

    Don't have X2, still on 8.5 (holding out for the colours CW!), but assuming it's still much the same, use the notes section on your midi event filter plug in on your midi track to assign the note range for that synth. Do the same for your other synths on their midi tracks and switch on input echo for each synth you want active at the same time. Not as elegant as Omnisphere, for example, but it will get you there.

    Splitting the keyboard is covered on page 37 of the Edirol PCR manual.
     
    Set the upper and lower ranges to different channels, e.g. 1 and 2. Set the midi channel in the midi tracks of the two softsynths to channels 1 and 2 respectively.

    Another idea is to use a drum map. I think it's possible.

    This is a collection of cross-platform midi VST plugins
    midi16CCRouter - Changes up to 16 CCs to 16 other CCs.
    midi2qwerty16 - Use MIDI to trigger fake keystrokes to the focused window.
    midiAudioToCC - Converts audio amplitude to CC messages.
    midiCCModulator - Use one CC to modulate another CC (or note velocity) in various ways: add/subtract/multiply/etc, plus logic gates (AND, NAND, XNOR, etc).
    midiCCReset - Remembers CC values and sends them out again at selected times.
    midiCCStepper - Quantize CC events by value or in time.
    midiCCToggle - For changing momentary CC buttons into toggles.
    midiChannelize - Transforms everything to the selected channel.
    midiChs_noGUI - Channel filter/changer like energyXT1 “MIDI chs” component.
    midiConverter2 - Change and convert between CC, Channel Pressure, Poly Aftertouch, Program Change, Pitch Bend, NRPN/RPN, and Note On/Off messages in various ways.
    midiDelay - Delay notes and/or CCs with feedback.
    midiDuplicateBlocker - Remembers all MIDI message values it gets on each channel, and blocks any repeated values until a different value is received.
    midiExactDelay - Simple delay (no dry signal, no feedback) with flexible and precise delay time.
    midiFingered - Selectively sends standard portamento on/off CC messages to emulate “fingered portamento” for synths that don’t have it.
    midiForceToKey - Enforces a scale, and transposes within the scale (optionally based on MIDI notes on a selected channel).
    midiForceToRange - Transposes notes by octave into the selected range.
    midiInvertNotes - “Mirrors” notes centered around the selected note.
    midiKeySplit - Simple keyboard splitter. two versions one splits keyboard into 2 zones and one splits to 4 will try this weekend
    midiNotchFilter - Isolate, remove, or channelize specific MIDI messages.
    midiNotesToCC - Converts note number and velocity to CC messages.
    midiNoteToggle - Notes (optionally within a selected range and/or channel) are toggled… play a note once to turn it on, play it again to turn it off.
    midiNRPNConverter - Converts between NRPN/RPN and CC messages, with 16 conversion slots.
    midiPolyphony - For spreading polyphony across MIDI channels, i.e. if you play 4 notes, each one will go to a different channel. Polyphony per channel can be set from 1 to 16 notes for more flexibility. You can also use it to convert polyphonic input to monophonic output.
    midiProbability - Add probability-based effects to incoming MIDI events, optionally synced to host timeline.
    midiProgramChange - Send Program Change and/or Bank Select messages.
    midiSimpleLFO - One CC LFO with some “simple” options.
    midiSostenuto - Like a piano sostenuto pedal, but for MIDI notes instead of piano dampers.
    midiStrum - Sequentially delays notes of an input chord to simulate strumming.
    midiStuckNoteKiller - Sends note-off messages to end hanging notes when the host stops (for hosts that don’t do this themselves).
    midiSwing - Delays and/or offsets velocity of and applies probability to notes (and optionally also CCs) at every other step of a selected note value.
    midiVelocityScaler - Scale/reverse/offset velocity of input notes (Note On and/or Note Off).

    • MFX Track Doorman
      Oyvind Strandem asked on the SONAR/MFX forum: "I tried using the CakewalkFx Midi Event filter to single out the keyranges i wanted the synth to respond to, but it wouldnt work on realtime input[...] Does anyone know about some kind of keyrangefilter that responds to realtime midi input?" Introducing MFX Track Doorman: he's one tough cookie! He only lets notes into his club if they meet strict requirements!
