Acting as a host

Hi all,

I have developed a small application, that works like a midi-router. It receives midi-data from 2 keyboards and should send this data to predefined midi-channels (eg. B4 on chnl 4, FM7 on chnl 7, Pro52 on chnl 5, external fx-processor on chnl 9 etc). The application can feed up to four "sound-channels" simultaneously, each soundchannel is freely programmable regarding output-device, midi-channel, program-nr, octave, detun, volume etc etc. Every setting is stored in a "host-preset" and can be recalled easily from a keyboard.

Now my question: It seems to be the best way to act like a host, especially for B4, FM7, Pro52 etc. But is this a hard programnming job ? I only want to read the preset-names from those apps and I only want to send midi-data to them, nothing more. Sound-editing is not necessary in live-operation.
Any ideas how to do this implemetation easy and fast (i'm developing in delphi)

Many Thanks !!!

Pierre

 

This is interesting and I've been looking for somethign like this for a while. Does your app run on a PC or Mac?
