Choosing which MIDI devices go to the 'all inputs'

[JellyJonas]

Hi all,

I recently purchased the conductor midi fader for controlling expression and volume in my orchestral mockups, but I can't figure out how to use it in conjunction with my keyboard (Roland a-800mk2) without having to use the 'all inputs' midi input. The issue with using the 'all inputs' is that I can't find a way to limit what midi goes to the 'all inputs' and what doesn't like you can in other DAWs.
I use an SPD-SX Pro to trigger my percussion tracks and I use Divisimate for various other tracks so if I pick 'all inputs' on a track it seems that this track will receive midi from everything and there isn't a way to limit this.

How do you guys go about navigating this and have I perhaps missed the section in the setup where you choose which midi devices are routed to 'all inputs' and wich are not?

Don't know about a way to choose which devices are active with "All Inputs".
This might be a somewhat useful workaround:

Thank you for that suggestion. I can see how that is useful in smaller sessions, but I think for most orchestral mockups it might make the track count too high.

This seems to be a good workaround!
If you work with multiple instruments in Kontakt or SinePlayer then you have to remember to add a midi input for your controller to each midi channel in use in your multi instrument.

Arrg... After trying to use this method for a while I found that it won't work. The issue is that 'direct inputs' send midi regardless of armed track or not meaning I have to always remember to remove the 'direct input' after using on one track before using on another otherwise I will be affecting all tracks, armed or not, with any fader movement.
Also, direct input isn't available on when using 'external instruments'.

How about suming the faders and keyboard into a single virtual midi port. In fact there's a free nextmidi one.

I do actually own and use the full Divisimate 2 and it could definitely be a way around my issue! Thank you for reminding me of this feature.
