Hi folks,

many different instruments have a pretty narrow tone range to play solos over the whole keyboard (61 keys)

Is there a possibility, that I can have a splitt point when soloing via the THRU channel and have on the lower keys a different instrument (bass for example) and in the higher ranges a solo instrument?

Is that something doable i Biab?

Cheers
Stefan

Hey Muso,

looks splendid, that there is a solution for my problem. Though it looks pretty confusing to me. Can you teach me a lesson on this setup. Pls send me a PM as how we can arrange for a config session - if possible.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers
Stefan

Download and create a new folder "pizmidi" in VST 64 folder then unzip contents in it
pizjuce_x64_20111031.zip
pizjuce_x64_20120111.zip

Download and install
element-win64-0.46.3.exe

On Thru track in Biab Mixer > Plugins add > Add Plugins > Look for VST Plugins > KV_Element.dll now type KV_Element and select

Use mouse wheel to scroll up/down and Shift+mouse wheel to scroll left/right

you will see Midi In, Audio Output and Midi Output that can be moved around by dragging

click top right Settings > Plugin Manger > Scan or Options to add your vst folder

Close Plugin Manager

right click to add Plugin Insert Piz Here > midiForceToRange

click on orange on Midi In and drag wire to midiForceToRange Midi input (drag wire in middle to break connection)

drag Midi output of midiForceToRange to Midi input of VST Instrument you add by right click

drag audio output L/R of VST Instrument to Audio Output

add another midiForceToRange and another VST instrument then do the same and set each midiForceToRange to the note range.

** Once you have it set up > Save Group then Load Group next time.

Click EXT top left to send sync to Ezdrummer Ezkeys etc..

Thanks Muso for this detailed description.
I will try it, when my head is free for technical challenges - not now.
My frustration tolerance is not high right now - need to make music instead.

But your engagement is well received and appreciated.

Thanks a lot!!!

I will close the thread.

Cheers
Stefan
