16 Carla-Rack Per MIDI Channel
Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2016 4:32 am
Hey falkTX, I have a suggestion that you might be interested in.
Starting from the base of carla-rack, each set of racks will have it's own MIDI channel. There are 16 tabs each representing a MIDI channel, plus a global tab to see each and every channel's outputs. Buttons for add/remove plugin are grayed out for the global tab since it does not make sense to add plugins there except in individual 16 tabs. Now in the global tab, it would be nice to see MIDI IN indicators for each of the 16 channels, but that can be added later. No MIDI Channel Filter is needed for each softsynth or sample; click in any tab that designates MIDI channel and add a softsynth/sample from there. I could even add a MIDI plugin such as MIDI Chord and MIDI Strum should I so choose to. As with MIDI IN indicator, MIDI out functionality can be added later once a MIDI-based Carla-Rack is fully developed.
My suggestion is based in the file that I have exported from Carla-Patchbay. The patchbay does not have to be messed with unless you want to use a patchbay for a specific MIDI channel.
My question is, is it going to be too complex for my suggestion?
