Re: [fluid-dev] Play two channels simultaneously

[Ben Gonzales]

Hi Srijan.

Don't you need 2 separate rules?, like

router_clear

router_begin note
router_chan 0 15 0 0

router_end

router_begin note
router_chan 0 15 0 1

router_end

Don't forget, you'll need to create similar rules for all your other stuff - cc pbend, etc.

Thanks, but shouldn't this be possible using fluidsynth's router?

The fluidsynth API page says you can use the router to "Layer sounds (Example: for each noteon received on ch 1, create a noteon on ch1, ch2, ch3,...)". This is exactly what I want to do. For each noteon received on ch0, I want to create a noteon on ch0 and ch1. 

I tried this:

router_clear

router_begin note

router_chan 0 15 0 0

router_chan 0 15 0 1

router_end

But it doesn't work because the second router_chan rule overrides the first one, so I end up with only one channel playing. I can't get channels 0 and 1 to play simultaneously. 

Any ideas?

On alsa, I would do this with midiecho
  http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/index.html
  http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/midiecho.html
eg:
  midiecho -c 3 -e 3,4 -d 1 -i ProKeys -o FLUID

and then set your ProKeys to play on channel 3.
This doesn't do the "regardless of what channel my controller
keyboard is on" bit. If you just mean for channels 3 or 4,
then I'd start up a second midiecho client using -N
  midiecho -N Echo4 -c 4 -e 3,4 -d 1 -i ProKeys,Keysta -o FLUID
but if you mean for any channel 0..15 then I'd probably write
a custom midi-alsa client using either
  http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/midialsa.html
or
  http://search.cpan.org/~pjb/MIDI-ALSA-1.20/ALSA.pm
to do whatever needs to be done.

If you look how important doubling is in orchestral music
it's amazing it's not more discussed in a midi context...
