Then you can have different variations with different widget states giving different sounds.

Switch Midi Channels via Variations & Patch Persist

My method for this without scriptlets or even without variations is: Let’s say you want to switch two sounds A and B within a song or rackspace, by pressing a button on your controller, or by variations, with holding notes while switching and avoiding hanging notes: Use two MIDI in ports, here called A and B, and route them to the sounds A and B, either by different MIDI output channels to one VST or different connections to two different VST. Don’t mind the number of MIDI in blocks, I have …

This gig file contains the Plugin Persist 2.0 Scriptlet, the major overhaul of the Plugin Persist Scriptlet now with auto-sleep and fade out features. [Plugin-Persist-v2-by-David-san] Introduction: Many Gig Performer users build rackspaces in which they use button widgets to bypass/unbypass instrument plugins in the variations. As plugins themselves may not behave as you would expect when they are bypassed or unbypassed, this scriptlet adds more stability if a plugin is poorly implemented. N…
