Title: The River Midi INPUT
Post by: Bobby on July 08, 2018, 06:34:27 PM
Hello dear The River Users,

i'm using Ableton as my DAW. I have the problem that my The River reacts to all MIDI-Channels in my DAW. If I want to send MIDI-Notes to different Synths with different MIDI-Channels, the River is allways reacting to every Channel. I've tried to use the different Profil-Settings you can Download in this Forum but nothing seems to help. In other synths you just set the MIDI-INPUT Channel to the required Channel and he is just listening to this particular Channel. How can I tell my  The River, he should ONLY react for example to MIDI Channel 1?

Thank you for the help!

Did you try to put the MODE parameter from the front panel to MIDI or SELECT (and not ALL) ?

Perfect! Thank You! A little embarrassing that i didn't find that button by myself... :-[ But I just getting started to implement the River into my MIDI-Chain.
Thank you for the fast answer! I'm sure it won't be the last  :P

Boby,

Your question is good. Actually, for the moment, I do not have a channel filter for midi / usb inputs.
Eric's solution is very good, because in Mode Select, only the selected channel receives the midi events, but it still receives everything, even to ignore them.

I think I make the following change. In The Riverkey, at the level of the "Layer", we define a source, a destination, and a midi channel. For the latter one can choose: same as the source or 1 to 16. I propose that the choices 1 to 16 filter the inputs (midi and USB ) on the same channel :  If midi channel = 1, then only channel messages for channel 1 will be processed in the Layer.

Bests regards

Yeah it would be great to Change/Setup MIDI-Channels in the Riverkey without using the RiverKey Profil Editor!
