Using MIDI to trigger SysEx messages

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>The way I'm imagining it working would be having a sequencer send note pitch data (triggered or sequenced) on a MIDI channel to &quot;something&quot; that can send a SysEx message to devices that would likely be on a different MIDI channels than the sequencer.</p> <p>Of course I would need to find a way to correspond incoming pitches with the correct SysEx message, but essentially the process would be something like:</p> <ul> <li>C4 on Channel 1 sends Message A to device X on Channel 3</li> <li>C#4 on Channel 1 sends Message B to device Y on Channel 4</li> <li>D4 on Channel 1 sends Message C to device Z on Channel 5</li> </ul> <p>And so on and so forth...</p> <p>For context, I would be using the melodic sequencer on Beatstep Pro so it would be locked to a specific MIDI channel when sending MIDI out, but I'm trying to see if I can find &quot;something&quot; that can send out to different channels while only receiving on one other channel. If I wouldn't be able to, then I would just need to switch the MIDI channel on the Beatstep Pro to match the destination device channel, but if I can somehow manage independent send/receive channels then that would allow me to multiply the amount of available options by 16 by selecting different channels on the Beatstep Pro.</p> <p>Has anyone else had a similar use case or found anything that works well? Let me know if I can clarify anything...</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/8_thelight"> /u/8_thelight </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/v8mjvr/using_midi_to_trigger_sysex_messages/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/v8mjvr/using_midi_to_trigger_sysex_messages/">[comments]</a></span>
