Incoming midi , split channels

[gentleclockdivider]

At the moment I don't have a hardware sequencer ( 6 months untill my cirklon arrives )
But I was wondering , is there a way to direct incoming midi channels to certain plugins ?
Say I use the circklon first midi bus ( 16 channels )into my ancient edirol ua 25 which appears as the midi in module , and I want to direct the 16 channels to 16 different loaded vst instruments .
The set channel module doesn't really help here , since it just re-directs incoming midi .
And I see no option to set each plugin to a unique midi channel , which is what's needed.
Unless the set channel module also isolates/splits the incoming midi channels , see screenshot , then it's ok .
When I think about it , the set channel wil just assign a new midi channel to all incoming data ( all incoming channels ) , so that 's no go to .

o.k. so I just saw there is a 'get channel 'module , but I see no inlets or options to define, I.D. the channel to get .
Any info on how to use it to isolate incoming midi channels ?

You were on the right path. Use [get channel] to extract the channel number, then [MIDI switch 1 to N] to route to N different places. Basically something like this.



(This is a simplified version, as [get channel] will return undefined for MIDI messages that don't have a channel, such as sysex dumps. If you care about that, you'll need to route channel-less MIDI messages as you see fit.)

The easiest way of dealing with non-channelled MIDI messages is just place a "Coercion > to integer (scalar)" module after the [get channel]. That will let channel numbers through, but convert undefined to 0. Non-channelled MIDI messages will then be routed to the left switch outlet, channel 1 to the next, channel 2 to the next, etc. You'll need 17 outlets in total on the switch, then.

Not really working over here , must be doing something wrong .
As an example I recorded a midi file , when mulitple channels are recorded into 1 midi file recorder , the saved file is a midi file type 0 ( three midi channels are used )
For this example , the midi file type 0 is the hardware sequencer
When loading the midi file into the midi file player , I want to extract midi channel 3 to be routed to the hardware out (labelled integra ) , and channels 1 and 2 to an internal vst instrument

In you r previous example you say use the get channel to extract the channel number , but how ?
The midi switch does not extract the wanted midi channel , it only gives invalid index

Wouldn't it be easier to just implement a midi channel switch on the 'get channel 'module ?

STOP the press , , the switch started counting from 0 , so it was the fourth output for midi channel 3
All good now
Stupid me
