Midi channel for Prog A and Prog B

Post by Samuca »

Hello, I have a NE3 and I'd like to setup a different midi channel for Prog A and Prog B. For example, I can keep channel 1 for Prog A and channel 2 for Prog B, so I can setup a midi module or computer with channel 2 and when I need to change to the module/computer I just press Prog B buttom.

Summing up:

Prog A - midi channel 1 - local on;
Prog B - midi channel 2 - Local off (sound of NE3 off);

Is it possible?

Thank you.

Unfortunately not, NE3 MIDI settings are Global, not "per Program".

If you explain your setup and what exactly you want to achieve, maybe there are other ways... for example if you use a PC/MC you may always have NE3 in Local off and let the computer do the MIDI routing, depending on the Program, via applications such as Mainstage or similar or a DAW...

Hi Maxpiano, in this case I just want to use NE3 with a Korg TR-Rack. I thought that was possible to setup the midi channel of TR-Rack to 2 as well Prog B. So it would be quickly to change from an organ in NE3 to a synth sound in the module. Currently I have to decrease NE3 volume and increase TR-rack volume to change the sound, and it takes a precious time.

Then, as as impel solution without adding other HW elements, I suggest you create some "silent" (no sound) patches on TR-rack and NE3 so that when you select Prog A you have NE3=Organ and TR=silent and for Prog B NE3= silent/TR=synth
