Advanced Midi Usage

Apologies if I’ve overlooked something obvious but I’ve skimmed through the manual, the tutorials and the forum and I still haven’t found much info on the following issues:

  • Using more than two MIDI controllers with Renoise
  • Specifying MIDI In channels when playing instruments via an external MIDI keyboard
  • Avoiding collisions between external MIDI controllers when building MIDI mappings
  • General strategies for assigning MIDI control to individual VSTs/DSPs on many different tracks
    [indent](specifically how to handle addressing different instances of the same plugin on different Renoise tracks)[/indent]

Has anyone written a guide to any of this? I don’t mind researching it myself but before I dive deep into trial-and-error mode, it’d be good to know about prior work to avoid reinventing the wheel so to speak.
