As of now Blocks have a serious inconvenience regarding this I feel inclined to rant about, but it would derail the thread. You may well be right about this. I tested with a single Block, because said inconvenience makes the setup as in the video impossible with multiple Blocks (if done using Dashboard only, that is).

Yep, I noticed it after posting. It will come in handy when I go about fixing my own channel redistribution, so that's awesome to have, thanks. At a quick glance, I could not for example play a long note on one hand and a legato line with the other, it will kill all but the last note in that situation. I'll check furtherhopefully this evening, wheather is too nice to spend much more time indoors, but I'll give some feedback then.

I have some vague hunch that for this special use case, 2 voices, the routine could be made to always reuse the channel of the note that is closest to the new (third) note. Not sure, but that may be a good enough decision for many cases???

Don't you think you could find a way marry your patch switching method with the JSFX way of processing the data within Reaper?

Any additional goodies need to be explored and configured only after that. But I'd like to be sure that it will indeed be usable before I buy it. Of course for the usual piano-like playing the 88 key hard (hammer) keyboard is there to stay.

Thanks for your comments,

I'd so love to convice you to get one anyway . First because it is that good but also to get more MPE discussion going here at Cockos forum. There is much to improve regarding editing MPE in Reaper...


Now I really need to catch some sunlight, later
