The general<br /> requirements are: one master keyboard connected to a notebook, which<br /> hosts several plugins (VST through wine and Pianoteq in some form). The<br /> challenge: switch the sound engine which the master keyboard is<br /> controlling via MIDI (from the keyboard) or through another cheap<br /> controller.</blockquote>

<div class="gmail_quote">If you want to control different engines with the same controller, there are two ways:</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">- you can setup the different engines so that they only receive a certain MIDI channel, and then you just have to choose the channel on your controller. This implies that you can change the channel on your controller quickly and easily,</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">- you can use any midi filtering tool (mididings is a really fine one, that I woul recommend, but you also can do it with qmidiroute or whatever) and create a patch (or route or filter) that will route the MIDI signal to the engines in a way that would be controlled by a knob or a button on your controller. You can check an example with mididings here: <a href="https://github.com/PlagiatBros/PlagiatSetup/blob/master/Controls/Mididings/cmeKeyboard.py">https://github.com/PlagiatBros/PlagiatSetup/blob/master/Controls/Mididings/cmeKeyboard.py</a> (you can omit the zyntrebleGMandela thing and the gateCancel): basically, the mididings patch routes the MIDI signal to a different pair of Output/Channel for each Scene, and the SceneSwitch is controlled by ProgramChange.</div>
