here is the idea:
The main thing is, that I want to assign sounds to keyzones as fast as possible without touching the mouse.
I'm working with Brainspawn Forte, which is really powerful.
So let's say I have a piano-, e-piano-, organ- and two synthsounds. I want the epiano sound in the lower part, a piano sound in the upper part and a synth layer on the whole keyboard. Now I can use the mouse to create keyzones in forte quite easily. But it really affects the workflow especially when I'm rehearsing with my band.
My idea now is, to have a map on the iPad / Lemur (see attachement, just a sketch) for each sound. On this map there are buttons, which allow to assign the sound to the zone. If I get this working, live can't be easier
But I have no idea, how to realize that. I thought about assigning a keyzone to a midi channel.
For example:
- Receiving on midi ch.1: Lower part
- Receiving on midi ch.2: Upper part
- Receiving on midi ch.3: whole keyboard
...and so on.
But that means, that the masterkeyboard is able to split the keyboard and to send on different midi ch. in the different zones (maybe kurzweil can). And that means also, that I have to change the midi ch. in the keyboard too, which is again affecting the workflow.
I don't know, if its possible, but the "splitting" of the channels has to happen in the PC / forte and has to be controlled by midi too.
I hope, my idea is clear and maybe you have an idea, how to get this working!
Thanks,
Chris
