6.2 MIDI ROUTER Screen
The ROUTER screen defines up to 16 permanent routing paths between LoopA and any
connected MIDI equipment. For example, forward a MIDI controller connected to IN1
(accepting all channels) to a synth connected on OUT1 and transform the output channel
to channel 1:
MIDI packets can also be forwarded to (or sent from) a virtual USB port (when connecting
LoopA to Windows 10 or Mac OS via USB. Four independent MIDI USB devices are added
and could redirect MIDI traffic around a studio.
The router screen offers “commands” that can be selected with the upper-row keys
directly below the OLED:
●
Select: Select currently active “route” (also select routes by turning the SELECT
knob).
●
IN P: Choose the input port of the active route (IN1-IN4, USB1-USB4). Only MIDI
packets arriving on this port will be forwarded to the configured MIDI output
●
IN Ch: Define the input channel of the active route (1-16 or “All”). If a specific
channel is chosen, only MIDI packets on this channel will be forwarded to the
configured output.
●
OUT P: Define the output port of the active route.
●
OUT Ch: Define the output channel of the active route. If a numeric value is chosen,
the packet is sent only on this destination channel. If “All” is selected, the input
channel number will be used (and is not modified).
