@Funky40 :
thanks very much for your answer.
Had been on hiatus recently due to covid.
okay, I try getting as specific as I can - hope, my English is good enough…
Overall, I want…
a sorta AxeFx, with:
- 10 theoretical inputs - but to make things easier, I mostly sum it down to say, 4 signals most of the time.
- 2 main outs (to power amp),
- outs for headphone (in ear…),
- some more ins and outs for routing some physical pedals/effect units.
…
I know, most of the things are determined by the audio interface. what I got confused by the meantime, how things work with GP - and if, how to set things up.
I imagine to not wanna run 10 instances of GP… like again, a virtual AxeFx where things are “routed” visually. Most of all, I wanted 2 different signals from my left hand (= bass string group) and 2 different ones from my melody hand.
each group has a specific amp sound, say for example - bass sound without delay and 1 string upon that with delay.
…
by AxeFx I mean a setup as that,
plus the ability to rout (=switch) signals.
what I mean by that:
I play ChapmanStick with 10 strings, each of them is read by a dedicated pickup. what I don’t know yet - how to feed/rout these signals into GP… :
a) one way would be using a cyfci nexus (as mentioned already in this thread) behind the instrument, run into an audio interface connected to an Apple M1. the nexus would do the signal routings (splitting/merging, also some attenuation if needed) - to be controlled by GP via MIDI.
b) another way would be - running the instrument directly into an audio interface. Now, GP would AGAIN need to control the routings via MIDI - but this time: the audio interface would need to do routings… or, can that be achieved some way else? no idea at all, no experience. anyway, it should be done with GP, right?
thanks.
You guys have been curious, why I wanna do this. An example:
I have a song where I play 3 of the first eight-notes of my 7/8 bass turn-around on the 3rd sting, and those string only wants some delay! =)
@CruiseCycle
thanks for your answer.
totally agreed, robustness is everything…
I wouldn’t want to midify anything -
and the Cycfi-System is not meant to be used as a Roland rip-off.
Their pickup-Moduls for reading only one dedicated string actually sound decent (Roland GK’s system is meant to be converted by a guitar Synth rather, if I’m right?)
So no midi-convertion!.. amplification and audio effects only.
What I can’t wrap my head around by now is - how to rout those signals with most ease.
Why I want/need it for my music is:
My instrument has 10 strings. sometimes I might want to effect only one with an additional delay or pitch effect…
@Hermon:
Thanks again, for answering…
Agreed.
But in my case, I don’t play guitar.
So , a Stick, made from aluminum and carbon having a super long bass scale… it talks a whole other sound/overtone footprint than all else…
i already tried it by hooking it up to my old GK2 and GR50 for fun…
the tracking was horrible 
this Blue Cats Connect plugin seems to be very helpful in my case, too - thanks a lot for that!
If you’d help my clarify, please? I still can’t wrap my head around it, fully…:
So, what if You’d wanna work only with 2 instances of GP only, for simplification reasons -
would that work?
Having one GP running for the Bass strings of a Chapman Stick (=left hand / string “1” - “5”), another GP for the Melody-Hand (string “6” - “10”)…
The bass signal, first- all 5 bass strings are equally merged down to one signal…
what, if You’d wanna add a pitch effect to only string, say String “3”.
Could you imagine a way to sort that puzzle out?
You do not have GP4 right ?
then you should have a look at the demo !
be aware: time is limited for the demo.
start it, when you´re ready go give it some evenings in a short period of time.
( i think the demo runs for two weeks)
i´d guess you can do everything you want.
The limiting factor is your CPU power.
if you´re on a mac, that helps for such complex scenarios. It makes some things way easier.
( way less prone to “troubles”)
this is not a problem at all !
you need to learn to think accordingly…
just don´t merge the signals of the strings bevore of the FX
respectivly: run each string to the FX you want to have available for that string, merge later, at the end.

thanks again, @Funky40
I will do as you said -
trying the GP - demo when time’s right!
Moreover,
I decided that a MOTU
(MOTU 16A, MOTU 1248)
could be my next audio interface, after reading,
that the MOTU Cuemix application would be able to handle on my purpose?
As read, Cuemix listens to OSC -
so I should be able, to rout/re-rout signal flow on the fly controlled by GP.
I recently trying to find proof of this, BUT -
If ANYONE knows about this already here, in that forum?
I’d highly appreciate.
Yes, you will have to construct your messages using GPScript or possibly via direct widget addressing but it is certainly doable
