Is it possible to, using a patcher channel, play notes of one midi channel through one synthesizer, and play notes of another midi channel through another synthesizer?

Example: I have a basic melody, and I want one note to be played through a different synthesizer without having to use a separate channel, or an automation clip to auto-enable the synthesizer just for that note. Let's say that every note in this melody is green (midi channel 1) except for the one note I want to change. That one will be orange (midi channel 13) and it should be played through a separate synthesizer.

Is this feasible and if so, how?

    I’m a bit confused. In one sentence you ask about using separate channels and in another sentence you say you don’t want to use a separate channel. Can you clarify whether you are trying to change synthesizers without changing channels or whether it’s ok to have different notes on different channels? – Todd Wilcox Dec 05 '18 at 18:05
  • im wondering if one FL track (like a patcher) can have 2 seperate synthesizers on it, each accepting notes from individual midi channels. – spacefluff432 Dec 11 '18 at 17:53

Create two separate instances of the synthesizers you want to use.

In the Patcher channel, create two separate channel rack instances, one for each synthesizer.

Connect the MIDI Out of the Patcher channel to the MIDI In of each of the channel rack instances.

In the Patcher channel:

  • create two separate cables connecting the MIDI Out of each of the channel rack instances to the corresponding synthesizer.
  • create a switch that routes the MIDI events to the correct channel rack instance based on the MIDI channel of the incoming MIDI event.
  • in channel settings, make sure that the switch is set to "Enabled" and that the MIDI In is set to "Enabled".

In the piano roll, assign the notes you want to play through each synthesizer to a specific MIDI channel, 1 for the green notes and 13 for the orange note.
