I am planning to run separate string signals into separate instances of MIDI Guitar 3. I could have each instance run its own VST synth, but ideally I could have a single VST synth for easy configuration and changes. I’d like to do the mixing at the MIDI stage rather than the synth audio output stage.
Could I set all of the MIDI Guitar 3 instances into MIDI 1.0 mode, each with a different channel (string 1 gets channel 1, string 2 channel 2, etc), merge them into a single MIDI stream, then send it to an MPE synth like Equator? I’m using Gig Performer 5 which has MIDI scripting so I could potentially detect certain types of MIDI messages and forward them to a special “global” channel if necessary. Basically my goal is to recreate the MPE protocol by merging a collection of MIDI 1.0 streams.
