Scene with 16 external zones on 16 channels?
7 Feb 2023, 00:52I'm trying to setup a scene for a purely VSTi workflow in Ableton. When I select the scene, I'd like to be able to arm 16 tracks at once in Ableton, with each listening on a different MIDI channel and then use the zone select buttons on the Fantom-0 to jump between transmitting channels.
For some reason I can't seem to configure the zones to transmit on just one channel. In my first attempt, I had all 16 set to EXT, MIDI Tx Port=USB, Ports 1->16. But every key press was sending notes on all 16 channels.
I initialized the scene and started over. I tried to use Zone Select, Assign, and Shift+clicking zone numbers to configure each zone to (I think) transmit on one of EXT channels. This worked for channel 1, but the second I tried to add zone 2/channel 2, it started transmitting on channels 1+2. Likewise when I added 3, it transmitted on 1-3. I can't seem to set this up so that each zone is mutually exclusive/transmits on the corresponding channel. Any ideas?
