I just went and plugged the pedal midi out into a cheesy little Yamaha

I knew there was a GOOD reason I became a picker and not a keys
player....MIDI is a PAIN!!!
Surely there must be a simple way to have some app in existence
interpret that patch change data into something I can use as controller
data or "note on/ note off" even. Thats all I need to be able to toggle
a volume or similar parameter in AMS to control output of LADSAP plugs.
Hell...I'm beginning to think spdt switch on the audio cable!! This is
too hard! :) But then I will learn nuthing willnt I!!

I think we've had this discussion a number of times in different forms.
The issue comes up when you don't like the MIDI velocity mapping of your
keybaord and want to change the curves, or you want to use a keyboard
but create splits. I don't think we ever talked about receiving one kind
of MIDI data and turning it into a completely different kind of MIDI
data, but it falls into the same sort of problem space. (And an
interesting problem space it is.)
In this very simple, sort of non-real time problem being discussed here,
I wonder is some smart scripting guy couldn't write something really
simple and just run it in an xterm? Could you pipe all MIDI data to a
little perl script of some type and then that script would look for a
certain pattern and output something to another pipe? I remember long ag
Paul DAvis wanted me to test my MIDI driver using dd just to see if it
was functioning. Maybe in a very limited sense you could make a little
program at the command line that would do what's required here?
Easy for me to say since I don't have to do it... ;-) Steve,
Can you think of an implementation that I could use in AMS to do this
with the "patch change" data being transmitted? Can I set up different
patches in AMS, duplicate reverbs for instance, say one "on" and one
"off" and change between them with the data already being streamed from
the pedal?
I dont think so - I think you need another program between the midi in and
AMS, but MIDI is not really my thing. You could ask on the ams-user list.
