Midi channel

Post by mattclarkmixer »

I’ve got a Behringer x32 rack. Is there a way to set the midi in to only receive on a particular midi channel? Like midi channel 2 for example.

Not really. Just send midi commands on channel 2. Is there a specific reason why you can't just send midi chan 2?

I'm setting up wireless midi via bluetooth. Works great, I was having a problem where the X32 was picking up midi I was sending to another device on channel 1. I've got a note into the wireless midi companies tech support. Worst case scenario there is a workaround but I'd rather use their suggested method if possible.

How are you sending midi to multiple devices? If you are daisy-chaining by using the midi out of the X32, that is not a Thru output. The X32 midi is designed to be the only midi device to be controlled by another midi device.

I got it figured out. No daisy chaining. The wireless midi thing broadcasts simultaneously to multiple devices via bluetooth. I changed what midi messages the x32 would receive and that solved it.
