Hello. Uhm.. let's hope this goes to the right place, I've never replied to
a mailing list before. Am I doing it right?
Mididings does work for what you want, given that you don't need to quickly
be able to change the configuration just before / during the performance.
I use Konfyt for keyboard setups: http://www.noedig.co.za/konfyt/
It allows you to quickly and easily create patches and switch between them
with a cool feature that when you hold notes while switching patches, they
will continue to be held down until you release them.
In your case you would probably ignore the Soundfont and SFZ functionalilty
and just use MIDI output ports for each VST plugin and app (Pianoteq).
You'll still need something to host the VSTs, like Carla or Ardour. I
usually opt for Ardour since I feel comfortable with organising the
different instruments/effects in mixer strips.
Another option is MIDI Layer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/midi-layer/
Cheers

Hey hey,
I am helping a friend to set up a live performance system. The general
requirements are: one master keyboard connected to a notebook, which
hosts several plugins (VST through wine and Pianoteq in some form). The
challenge: switch the sound engine which the master keyboard is
controlling via MIDI (from the keyboard) or through another cheap
controller.
The current state: use Carla to host the instruments and try to map
certain MIDI controllers to switch the internal routing. To that end I
found one thread on Linux Musicians, where FalkTX suggested using some
MIDI filtering plugin (like pizmidi-plugins or x42) or a standalone app
like mididings. No final solution was posted/described.
Does anyone have a working solution to that kind of setup? It doesn't
necessarily have to use Carla at the core, as long as it can host the
instruments involved. Namely, these would be vb3 version 2 and M-Tron
Pro (VSTs through wine) and Pianoteq, in which ever format.
As far as I am aware, no layering or splitting setups are intended.
Best wishes and thanks for any hints,
Jeanette

If you want to control different engines with the same controller, there
are two ways:
- 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,
- 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:
https://github.com/PlagiatBros/PlagiatSetup/blob/master/Controls/Mididings/…
(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.
Hope this helps.
(btw Plagiat is a band, born on the ashes of Sebkha-Chott, running a
live setup using synths, loopers, samplers, mixer, FX, routing,
monitoring, lights management and VJ-ing using Debian GNU/Linux and free
softwares only, as Sebkha-Chott did before)

Thanks for your reply, I've passed on the example and the advice. I know
Sebkha-Chott and I have heard their stage performances, if only online.
Best wishes,
Jeanette

thanks Gideon, I've also passed on your tip. Konfyt sounds like a useful
tool. And no worries: your mail got through perfectly well.
Best wishes,
