Distributing notes to different channels

If you do not have a VST 3 instrument, but still want to use the Note Expression functions, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. Add a multi-timbral instrument, open its control panel, and assign the same sound to different channels.
  2. In the Inspector for the corresponding MIDI track, make sure the MIDI output pop-up menu is set to “Any”.
  3. Enable the “MIDI as Note Expression” button and record or enter MIDI notes with expression as needed.
  4. On the MIDI menu, open the Note Expression submenu and select “Distribute Notes to MIDI Channels”.

    This will distribute the MIDI notes to different channels (starting at channel 1).

  5. Edit Note Expression for each note independently without controller conflicts.
