Default Change MIDI channel...easily?

Hi folks...

Unless I'm missing something, there's no quick way to change the MIDI channel of a track.
I have to go into the track, click on a MIDI note, "select all", then....well, you know the drill.

So...is there a easy way to do this?
Should there be?


(I suppose if you've got several channels on a single MIDI track, so that they're routed to different articulations, then there'd be no need...but it still seems like a good idea, to me.



Peace,

K8ch

There are three ways to achieve this:
1. If it's MIDI hardware, you can choose MIDI channel at the output.
2. Build 16-track MIDI routing with MIDI controller plug-in.
3. Modify the source properties of MIDI item and choose to send only to a channel.
But these three settings are troublesome, especially the third one, which is not easy to see unless you open the source properties.

I use reaticulate for doing midi channel changes, it is pretty easy just one click after the vst is already on the track.

But I think you can also do it easier with Reaper midi control and adjust it by the automation lane.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to reply!
It's much appreciated!

I'm also using Reaticulate, but am far from fluent with it.
IT's something to aspire to, though...



Peace,

Keith

is something like would work?

add a "MIDI_Tool II" JS Fx to your track drag it to top of the Fx Chain,
in the plugin window click to Output Channel once and click to Param button and select
"Show in track controls"
now you can select the midi out channel via the knob

Yes, I think that'll work.


All in all, it's a pretty insignificant matter, I suppose.
Sometimes I've imported MIDI file and had to assign channels to the tracks...and it was a bit of a pain.

Thank you (everyone) who's taken the time to respond!


Peace,

Keith

The Midi Router / Transpose plugin can also work for this.
So, if the Midi file is on channel 6 but the instrument wants channel 1:

I use a Custom Action for this.

That way all I have to do is double-click the MIDI region then press Option+Control+1



It's worth noting that to create the custom action you need to select MIDI Editor in the Section drop-down.

You might find my MIDI Event Editor script useful for these kinds of tweaks.

Cool idea. Obvious, but you are the first one posting this solution here. Thanks for sharing.

For Reaper 6.81:

In the MIDI Take screen.. click View Mode: event list... Press control + a to select all... Click actions... Click show action list... Type in "set events" without quotes in the filter box... Select Edit: Set events to channel 01... Click Run
