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

OK, now I'm starting to be in a bad mood. :) Let's not talk about Korg and
stage pianos in one sentence, lest it be something like: "Korg is a nice
company, but if you want a stagepiano try ..." :) Too expensive or too basic.
I think I need another cup of tea - when don't I - and clear out the dish
washer. I sitll feel a bit like I might get a cold. I hope this feeling will
pass without anything much happening.
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Best thing at that stage is yin qiao 银翘解毒片. 'Open Source' public
herbal recipe that works since a few hundreds years based around
honeysuckle and forsythia. Millions of teachers take it to not miss a
day at school. That's about 4-5 years now that I spend winters without
a cold/flu. Yin qiao should be in tablets, not expensive, and should
not contain acetaminophen or caffeine nor chlorpheniramine. Available
at any Chinese market/store (and perhaps other Asian). Safe for
everyone including children. Take 4 to 7 tablets, by a person's weight,
twice a day at the first signs that a cold/flu is coming (not later !).
Cheers.

Very many apologies, the mail below was not supposed to reach this list, it
went very much astray and may thus have read rather off-topic. Many apologies!
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hi Jeanette
I'm using a mididings router for exactly that purpose.
It has 2 inputs and 8 outputs, all either Jack or Alsa,
depending on the backend selected.
One input ('data') receives the MIDI data to be routed
and a second one ('ctl') listens for certain CC numbers
that will switch the routing to one of the outputs.
I don't fully understand every aspect of it (e.g. why the
scene numbers are magically tied to the CC numbers
by a +1 relation), copy-pasted and adapted it years ago.
Since then it serves the purpose.
Run it with
$ mididings -f <filename>
with <filename> containing the following:
from mididings import *
# setup backend, names and ports
config(
# select alsa backend, alsa or jack
backend = 'alsa',
# alsa/jack client name
client_name = 'adingsroute',
# two inputs, one to control scenes, one for the
in_ports = ['data', 'ctl'],
# 16 output ports
out_ports = [
'CH-1',
'CH-2',
'CH-3',
'CH-4',
'CH-5',
'CH-6',
'CH-7',
'CH-8',
],
)
run(
scenes = {
32: Scene('input -> CH-1',
Port('CH-1')
),
33: Scene('input -> CH-2',
Port('CH-2')
),
34: Scene('input -> CH-3',
Port('CH-3')
),
35: Scene('input -> CH-4',
Port('CH-4')
),
36: Scene('input -> CH-5',
Port('CH-5')
),
37: Scene('input -> CH-6',
Port('CH-6')
),
38: Scene('input -> CH-7',
Port('CH-7')
),
39: Scene('input -> CH-8',
Port('CH-8')
),
},
# ctl data: filter by port and stuff,
# use number of EVENT_* for scene selection
control = PortFilter('ctl') >> CtrlFilter(31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38)
>>
CtrlValueFilter(0) >> SceneSwitch(EVENT_CTRL),
# input data: filter by port
pre = PortFilter('data'),
)

Thanks David, this looks seems to fit the bill exactly!
