I have a Roland Sound Canvas (SC-8850) also. I’m not sure I fully understand your situation or what you are saying, BUT what you said in the last post is not correct (unless I misunderstood it).

Using standard, DEFAULT BIAB settings, my Thur Channel is set to 5.

As long as the "MIDI input" device is the one that my MIDI keyboard is connected to, no MATTER what channel or CHANNELS, in the case of a workstation that can send on multiple channels at once, the iRig is set to send on - BIAB re-sends (re-maps is a better term) that MIDI data back out on the specified BIAB THUR channel (assuming THUR is enabled in BIAB). In my case, that is the default Thru channel 5.

That is what John said in his first and second posts. And there is NO conflict going out the "MIDI out" device.


As an exercise I set my iRig Keys pro to send on Channel 1 and verified it (with any MIDI monitor tool – like BAIB MIDI monitor or MIDI OX or pick on…)

Next pick any song. A GM song is better in this case, for testing purposes, since you know any SC will respond correctly. Make sure song has more than a one MIDI part (so you can see/hear they are not mixed going out to SC onto one channel or "conflicted" with thru latter, in the Sound Canvas.

Make sure you not using any VSTI’s and that MIDI from BIAB is being routed OUT a physical "MIDI out" device.

Play any song, each part goes to correct channel in SC-8850 and no matter what I play on iRig (or any external keyboard) it goes to SC-8850 on channel 5.

I can even change iRig send channel in mid-song to any channel and it comes into BIAB and goes back out on 5.


NOW if you want to, or need to for some reason, you CAN set Thru channel to be a channel already in use by another BIAB part. For example, Channel 3 for the Piano. THEN BIAB will "merge" the BIAB songs (already in use) piano MIDI notes with YOUR keyboards input MIDI notes - and send that out on CHANNEL 2.
