How to block midi data?

Post by Hutzpah »

I have an Arduino midi foot controller I made to control
guitarix that works great but I need more foot switchers to control Luppp.
So I want to split it in half and use 4 for guitarix and 4 for Luppp.

How do I stop data 1- 0,1,2,3 on midi ch 1 from going to guitarix?

I have tried a midi key range filter in Carla but I can’t get it to work.
Is that the right one to use?

My settings were as follows
Midi channel 1
Only send/Bank/Program changers
Filter 1-01
Lower note 105
high note 108
Operation mode - 2 exclude range
All three unmapped

An help would be much appreciated

You should be able to achieve that with MIDI filters, but is not clear to me how you are doing the routing, are you sending notes or MIDI CCs?

in mix, nobody can hear your screen

When you don't connect them in guitarix to a controller, it doesn't hurt when they go into guitarix, they will be just ignored.
Other then that, you could select a channel (in the options menu) in guitarix so that guitarix only listen on that channel and ignore the other ones.
So you could send midi messages to guitarix on say channel 1, and to Luppp on channnel 2.
On the road again.

With qmidiroute you could do all the mangling you need.

A BIG thanks to LAM,tramp and tavasti.
I went and tried tavast’s suggestion of using qmidiroute and
it worked great. I was able to blocked Data 0,1,2,3 from reaching guitarix
on ch 1 out and then use ch 2 to connect to luppp.
Thanks again for getting me unstuck.
