Yki's MIDI Channel Keyswitch

What it does

• It's a MIDI plugin (not a VST plugin) that works in Windows versions of Cubase SX/SL/SE/etc., Nuendo and probably VStack.
• It sends incoming MIDI events to the currently selected MIDI channel, which is selected by pressing special switch MIDI keys.
  

Features

• You can select the active channel with switch keys in realtime from your MIDI keyboard, as you play.
  
• The number of active switch keys/channels can be selected (1-16, default: 8).
• The first switch key (MIDI note/pitch number) can be selected (default: C-3).
• The first switch key is always MIDI channel 1.
• The switches go chromatically upwards from the first switch key.
• All MIDI control changes (modulation, sustain pedal, etc.) are sent to all selected channels.
  
• The default settings should work right away with the Kick-Ass Brass VSTi.
  

Download

• The "current channel" field doesn't show anything sensible yet.
• The "copy CCs" field is hard-coded to copy all control changes to all active channels all the time, so you can't change the setting.
• You can't save presets. (well it only has two adjustable parameters anyway, and the default values should work for most cases)
  
• The user interface was supposed to be orange and not blue, but the RGB components got mixed up somewhere. ;)
• It should be "Keyswitch" and not "Key Switch".
  

Installation and use

• HOW TO INSTALL: Close Cubase SX and copy the DLL file to the components directory in C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase SX3\Components, or whatever your SX directory happens to be. Then restart SX.
  
• HOW TO USE: Insert the plugin in your MIDI track's insert effects in the track inspector. Not audio effects, not in the audio mixer.
