Midi Wizard

Midi Wizard is a VST midi processor made for all keyboardists whose gear is “simply” a midi keyboard and a computer stored with VST instruments.

With Midi Wizard you can change the transmitting midi channel of your keyboard and/or transpose it on the fly, simply pressing a button and a key.

Open it in your VST host application, connect the host midi input to the Midi Wizard's midi input and its midi output to the midi input of a VST instrument, then:

  • press and hold a button of your midi keyboard sending a CC message #105, set the desired transmitting channel pressing a key in the range C3 (channel 1) - D#4 (channel 16) and release the button: the chosen midi channel is shown in the Channel Changer's GUI. In order to come back to midi channel 1 (reset) simply press a button of your midi keyboard sending a CC message #106;
  • press and hold a button of your midi keyboard sending a CC message #110, set the desired transpose interval with reference to the C3 key (midi note number 60) pressing the corresponding (upper or lower) key and release the button: the chosen transpose interval is shown in the Midi Wizard's GUI in terms of upper (+) or lower (-) semitones. In order to cancel the transposition (reset) simply press a button of your midi keyboard sending a CC message #111.

Of course, you can use only two buttons of your midi keyboad, sending respectively CC messages #105 and #110 and reset the transmitting channel to "1" and/or the transpose interval to "0" by pressing the C3 key.

You can change the CC messages used by Midi Wizard through the relevant drop lists in its GUI.

Midi Wizard has a "no hanging notes" function in case you accidentally play one or more notes while you are changing channel or trasposing.

MidiRouter

MidiRouter is a VST midi processor made for all live performing keyboardists whose gear is “simply” a midi keyboard and a computer stored with VST instruments.

MidiRouter stands in your VST host between its midi in and your VST instruments (up to eight instruments, each one assigned to a different midi channel) and allows you to change the transmitting midi channel and, as a consequence, the playing instrument and the relevant volume level in different ways:

a) from the MidiRouter’s interface using the mouse (directly pushing on the relevant blue labels to choose the instrument to be played and clicking and vertically dragging on the relevant white number to increase or decrease the volume level);

b) sending Control Change messages from your midi keyboard, using its buttons, knobs or sliders (“CC mode”);

c) using some (4 or 8) keys of your midi keyboard to choose the instrument to be played (“Keys mode”), whilst you have to use the a) or b) method above in order to change the volume level.

By doing this you will see the midi channel assigned to the chosen instrument (the number on the left above the relevant blue label) turning from grey to yellow (midi channel no. 1, in the picture) and the name of such instrument shown in the upper left side of MidiRouter (“Piano” in the picture).

MidiRouter is fully customizable, as its heart is a file (whose extension is “.mrf”). You can create the “*.mrf” files with any text editor in order to set: each instrument’s (i) name, (ii) midi channel, (iii) volume; (iv) the CC message numbers to be used to change the playing instrument and each instrument’s volume, (v) the keys to be used to change the playing instrument (in “Keys mode”) and all the other settings.

MidiStation

MidiStation is a very flexible midi processor VST. It has two sections:

  • the main section (the upper one) where you can set the transmitting channel, the program and the volume for 4 different VST instruments (or for 4 instruments in a multitimbral VSTi) and you can change the playing instrument simply moving a knob or a slider on your midi keyboard sending a specific Control Change number (CC # 83 is the default one, but you can choose another one from the drop list in the up left corner of MidiStation): values 0, 42, 84 and 127 correspond respectively to instruments A, B, C e D;
  • the zones section (the lower one) where you can choose the playing instrument(s) through the buttons on the left and set for each one the notes range (through the "low limit" and the "high limit" drop lists, transpose them of +/- 3 octaves and determine if CCs (sustain pedal, pitch bend, modulation wheel, etc) are filtered or not. So you can create split or layering situation involving two or more of the 4 instruments.

Moreover you can pass from the "main section" (where you play a single instrument) to the "zones section" (where you can play more instruments split or layered) and viceversa on the fly, through the "On/Off button" on the up left corner of the "zones section" (you can assign this button, as well as the other buttons and drop lists of MidiStation, to specific CC messages through your host).

You can save your different settings in each one of the 128 memories (programs) of MidiStation.

MidiMaster 2.0

MidiMaster is a virtual master keyboard. Once connected in your host between the Midi In and a multitimbral VSTi or some VST instruments set to different receiving midi channels, you can:

  • split or layer your keyboard in two zones, defined by the left zone's highest note and the right zone's lowest note;
  • set for each zone: the transmitting midi channel, the Program Change message to be sent on this channel, the transpose (+/- 36 semitones, i.e. +/- 3 octaves) and the volume level;
  • switch off the split and use all the above-mentioned features on the whole extension of your keyboard (the "right" section will become the "main" one);
  • assign, in your host, all the knobs, sliders and the switch to CC messages, so that you can move them from your "real" master keyboard (if any);
  • save and load up to 128 of these settings and pass from one to another on the fly (useful in a live performance).

Moreover you can make the Program Change drop list of each zone showing only the programs' numbers (moving the relevant switch on the "internal" position) or also the name of each program (moving the relevant switch on the "file" position); in the latter case the name of the selected program is shown (in the picture: "Acoustic Bass" for the left section and "Bright Acoustic Piano" for the right section). By default MidiMaster shows the General MIDI (GM2) instruments' names, loaded from the "midimaster.mmf" file; but you can easily create different files wih the programs' names of your VST instruments and load them into MidiMaster using the "Load" buttons of each section (it is possible to load different programs files for each section of MidiMaster).
