[LAD] Midi Channel routing with hardware?

Hi,

There is hardware stuff out there. Have a look for "hardware midi filter"
or "hardware midi event processor". This one for instance:
http://www.midisolutions.com/prodevp.htm

I have never used any of these so I can't say much more about them.

I know I can do the channel routing directly on my linux computer, after

You could write something in mididings that would could route the incoming
midi data to different channels depending on what you press on your
footpedal: http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/
