Renoise instruments currently has a pretty awkward way of dealing with MIDI input: you can’t assign MIDI input to a specific instrument, you need to select it manually in the instrument table for it to recieve MIDI input.
Now, most of the time this isn’t really a big deal, but sometimes it would be really useful to be able to route MIDI input to a specific instrument. For example, if you have a master keyboard, and you want it to control a specific sound - without losing the ability to freely select other instruments from within Renoise.
I suggest that we make an instrument able to listen to one of the following:
- Recieve MIDI input when focused (current/default behaviour)
- Recieve MIDI input from specific input: [choose MIDI port]
Thoughts?
