MIDI Channels And Photon2

[SansMuso]

I noticed today that Photon2 seems to respond to the MIDI Note messages irrespective of which MIDI Chanel they are on… is this correct?

I am using MIDI to control other devices and had set aside MIDI chan 16 for Photon2 light control only. I had note messages on Chan1 that were triggering lights.

Thanks.

They are looking at implementing MIDI channel control, and as responsive as these guys are to app feedback/requests I have no doubt they will make it happen. Has been great working with such a responsive development team.

Midi channel selection

Hi! I’ve finally gotten Photon 2 fully integrated in my stage setup, with bandhelper sending bank changes via PC messages to a Morningstar MC6 midi foot controller on song change. From there, the MC6 is programmed to send CC messages to Photon 2! I do have some extra use cases for sending CC messages to Photon 2 from Bandhelper as well! Kudos to a great implementation so far! Any plans to implement channel filtering (listen channel) on the inbound midi messages? Listening on all channels is…

I vote for this too, a MiDI channel filter would be great.

BTW, and I just thought of this last week. All of my other MIDI devices do use MIDI channel filters, so even if I send Photon a Midi number that is currently in use on another device, it will ignore it because it does filter, and this message is on the Photon channel. Should work like a charm,but haven’t tested yet.

I use MidiFlow app on my iPad to direct all MIDI traffic (thus immune to the limitations of any one device)
