Instrument keyzones

[vvoois (vV)]

@davidka

I came across my first limitation of Renoise.
I managed to layer VST Instruments by setting up the same MIDI input for them. However, I could not edit keyzones. I suppose it’s not even meant to be there.
Is there any workaround, so I can layer my instruments together with keyzones somehow?

The keyzones in Renoise are for internal samples only. VST plugins have their own velocity responses.

There is a workaround that you can use to also devide responsiveness on velocity and keyzone layers, but this requires using an external vsthost, virtual midi cable software and a plugin called polysher.
I have explained in this topic how you can do basic vst control on keyzone splitting, you can also set the velocity ranges to send:

assign vst insruments to specific keys

Hi I have 2 vst instruments in 00 and in 01 cells. I want to assign the first(00) instrument to the z x c keys on keyboard and the second(01) to the v b n keys on keyboard. So I’ll be able to play both at the same time. How can I achieve this in renoise? Is it possible?

I hope in the near future that Renoise allows internal midi routing so that these ackward solutions are no longer required, but this is currently the way to do it.
