Plugin MIDI CC control: allow listen on all channels (not just a single one) #331

Open unfa opened 8 years ago

I'm using Carla to perform live with a band. I'd likje to have a master volume control for my set.

I'm using MIDI channels to drive different instruments, however I'd like to have an amplifier that will always be controllable with my controller keyboard, regardless on which MIDI channel it is currenty using.

There's a MIDI channel selection field in the GUI, but I miss an "all" option there as well (possibly anumeric value of zero?) that'd make the parameter listen to all channels, not just one.

I tried doing this with Robin Gareus' MIDI processing plugins, but I'd need to stack 15 "MIDI unison" plugins to have this simple thing done, I though it'd be much cleaner to ask for this feature here instead.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll try to do that for 2.0 final, but for the next beta is a bit too late.

Thanks :)

I worked it around for now by using jack_mixer as it doesn't care about MIDI channels.
