Issue with Midi Out to Global Rackspace and Keyrange

I am not sure if I discovered a bug or (as usual) user error.

I am using the midi out to the Global Rackpsace (love it! Much easier for me than OSC).

But, when I set a keyrange and use my controller, it is still triggering the midi notes out above the keyrange (shaded area).

Interesting, when I use the virtual keyboard in the midi in block (shaded area) it does not trigger a note (quite properly).

Thanks,

Jeff

Hmm, if I set the keyrange in the midi in blocks in the Global Rackspace it works as expected.

But, I would prefer if the midi in block in the local rackspace responded as usual (or maybe as “as I would expect”)

Can you post a screenshot of what is not working?

Sorry, I can’t right now (at work).

But, if you put something in the global rackspace and set a keyrange in your midi in block in the local rackspace and use your controller, does it respond outside the set keyrange?

If so, is that a bug? (Or something not quite set optimally)

If not, I would guess there is something about my particular set up.

(My MIDI IN block is connected to two plugins in the Global Rackspace, but I would not think that would matter.)

[I don’t mean to give extra work to do, Paul. I can send a screenshot this evening].

I guess no one has run into this issue. Hmmm, ok. I will try to send a screenshot.

[Not sure if I know how to make a little video. Hopefully a screenshot will suffice].



Even though I hit my controller keyboard in shaded area in the midi in block in the local racspace (it shows it responding) the note on message apparently still gets through (I can hear it).

Interestingly, if I hit the shaded are using the virtual keyboard in the midi in block (local rackspace) I do not hear it.

The key range works as it should when applied to the midi in block in the Global Rackspace. (I can’t hear it in the shaded are of the key range).

Just to be clear, you’ve set your keyboard split values in this block here that’s being sent to the Global rackspace, and notes that are outside that range are showing up in the Global rackspace?

I don’t see the From Rackspace block in the Global rackspace in your screenshot. If you insert a MIDI monitor block after that From Rackspace block, do the notes outside the range show up there?

I’m a little confused. You say you have a MIDI in block in your local rackspace which is receiving MIDI from your CTK7200 and that although you are sending notes that are in the shaded area, you’re still hearing it.

But you also have a MIDI in block in the global rackspace that is tied to your CTK7200, in fact I see two such blocks. I bet one of those is sending MIDI

Okay, thank you, emd111 and Paul,

I botched that. Now I know I need to use the From Rackspaces block in the Global Rackspace (using the midi connectors).

Thanks!

Yep, I was confused, not you. Thanks!

Dumb question;

Can you have multiple different Midi in blocks in the local rackspace going to different plugins in the Global Rackspace?

It looks like there is only one input pin in the “from rackspaces” block. (Unlike audio channels).

Jeff

Yes that is true.
But you could use differente MIDI Channels

In my case, (for reasons I won’t get into here), I have to use each controller on different midi channels (one on 3 and the other on 1).

So, I don’t think I have that option.

Hmm, but…

Could I I change the midi channel after it comes into GP using the midi channelizer?

But, does GP retain the different channels when it comes out of the From Rackspaces block? How does that work?

I looked at the “To Global Rackpsaces” block. It only has one midi input. The “From Rackspaces” block only has one midi output.

I seems like all midi blocks are merged going into the Global Rackpsace.

Unless I am missing something (a distinct possibility), I think this is an area where the developers should consider tweaks.

Does that mean you really cannot currently use the Global Rackspace for more than one distinct midi in block from the local rackspace?

All midi data is just merged going into the Global Rackspace?

[Again, sorry if I am missing something, again].

[Maybe I’ll create a separate thread for this?]
