Maybe part of this could be done with your midi-patch-bay. The OT tracks and midi-channels are fully functional. The OT can send its time-stamp to all synths and gear. The re-routing funcionality of the auto channel will not be required - and could be turned off. With this setup the midi-keyboard can control the synths directly using their midi-channels. midi splitter midi-out-B -> midi merge midi-in-1.midi-keyboard midi-out -> midi splitter midi-in.Would be like a midi-by-pass of the OT auto-channel. I would suggest to check out, whether some midi-split and midi-merge functionality may be of any help. I tried plugging the MIDI THRU from the OT into my patchbay, but then I lose tempo and transport sync.

What I want is for the OT output to double, in this case, as a MIDI THRU.

For example, if I want to play channel 9, but the OT MIDI tracks are set to channels 1 through 8, then 9 will not play. However, if I do NOT have one of the 8 MIDI tracks assigned to the channel I want to play, then my keyboard does not currently pass that MIDI through. If I have MIDI T1 set to channel 3, then even if I have another track on the OT selected (audio or MIDI), if my keyboard is set to channel 3, it will play automatically pass the MIDI through to the synth on channel 3. I want to be able to change the channel on my keyboard to play the synth I want, but since I need the OT as the master clock, it has to be the output to all my synths through my patchbay. I don’t want to have to TOUCH the OT at all when doing my current long ambient piece. It’s exactly that for which I am trying to find a workaround. I 100% understand that and am very familiar with how the OT Autochannel works (not trying to be snarky). My question is can I get the OT to pass through any keyboard channel I play on the Novation without having to assign a MIDI channel? I’m 2 short for being able to play all 10 and I’m working on something right now that I would love to be able to have that kind of quick flexibility. The nice thing is that I don’t need to have said channel selected when I’m playing the keyboard because it passes right through. I then have channel templates on my Novation for each synth and track (so 12 in total) that I can flip through in order to play any of the 10 sounds I have set up.Ĭurrently, if I want the OT to pass through the Novation MIDI, I need to assign a MIDI channel on the OT to said channel (so if I want to play the 0Coast, for example, I need one MIDI channel on 3). Then the OT OUT channel is set as the input channels for my Virus, A4, 0Coast, and DN.

The lack of processing abilities and remote control put it quickly behind competing routers. 50 different patch configurations of this type may be stored in the MJC8's internal memory for instant recall whenever needed. Each MIDI IN terminal is independently assignable to any THRU terminal for exceptionally broad patching flexibility. The MJC8 features eight MIDI IN and eight MIDI THRU terminals on the rear panel. The Yamaha MJC8 MIDI Junction Controller has been designed specifically to facilitate MIDI signal patching and re-routing even with highly sophisticated MIDI setups.
