routing midi for more than one instrument track

[dambro2]

hopefully not too obvious, but make sure you have each instrument assigned to its own midi input channel, not omni.

Meaning go to Reason first, assign it's MIDI channel?

Then go to Superior Drummer and assign it's MIDI channel?

In Reason they have an Advanced MIDI tab. In Superior Drummer, I wasn't as lucky.

But Reason is the only one that doesn't obey my routing. Any other VI that I use I can assign correctly.

Saying that out loud, makes me think it's a Reason setting...ug...

Not sure what DAW.you are using, but yea, sounds like Reason and SD are set to MIDI Omni. That means they are going to receive on all ports and all channels. Do they both play during play back of the midi data you have recorded or just when you are recording? Also, when you play the keyboard does the DAW receive midi data on both tracks? If so you may not have the midi config in your daw set correctly. But check the settings in reason and sd first.

Using ProTools 10.

They playback indepednetly and correctly. Not together.

In ProTools I see MIDI movement on the Reason MIDI meter but NOT on Superior Drummer. However, the keyboard does trigger both Reason & Superior Drummer.

I had to go into the Audio Setup utility on my Mac and recreate my Alesis and Yamaha as new MIDI devices. Once I routed them and assigned which channels they were to obey, the correct corresponding info appeared in ProTools.

Boom. Success. THANKS SO MUCH!
