Hi there!

I'm a fresh G2-User and did some tutorials and the manual already. Now I'm wondering if it is possible to use more parallel instances of the G2 than the four ones given by the slots inside my sequencer program (Ableton Live 8 ).

My idea was to use the G2 instead of my various software synthesizers in my music projects, but as much as I know, only 4 MIDI-Channels can be routed to the G2 because of it's only 4 slots.

I'm looking forward to your helpful advices on that topic

kind regards

Yes there are only four channels .. and just limited ways to get around that ... you could use CCs to control stuff (CtrlRcv) .. the NoteRcv unfortunately will do just one note ... but at least they can do so on different MIDI channels ... then there is NoteZone mudule which can receive on freely selectable channels too but then it has to be routed to something and that is where it will stop it seems Confused

There are other ways too to make keyboard splits by using one of the keyboard modules and then splitting things out based on the note number it outputs.

The best way would be to have more G2s Wink

Edit: oh .. I forgot Embarassed

Jan is right, splitting the keyboard within a slot is the only way to use it multitimbrally. The MIDI note spec covers 127 notes however, which is over 10 octaves. So, splitting the keyboard eg. in 3 will still give you over 3 octaves per zone.

I made a quick'n'dirty building block that demonstrates the most economic way to do this.

Ah, sounds nice! Actually, I was not not thinkin' of using more splits in the key range but instead of feeding more than 4 MIDI channels out of my sequencer parallel into the G2. E.g., I have a project with about 16 channels, and want any of those channels sending MIDI information to a different sound engine inside the G2.
