The routing of midi signal from midi in to layers is crazy!
Your post isā¦ What shall developers do with it.
Take your time an describe it. Whatās the specific issue? How can it be reproduced?

ok: simply:
- I created in āconnectionsā (MIDI) 3 MIDI inputs ( MIDI in 1,2,3) and created 3 layers, routing to them the 3 MIDI in above (keeping the same numbers,layers 1,2,3) 2) Now Iāve just 1 master keyboard and say, I assign to MIDI in 1 3) now I play : youād expext to hear sounds from layer 1 ONLY , ok? ..no ! you hear maybe 1 and 2 , or even 1,2, and 3.. or some times, if I then swith , for example my keyobard from MIDI in 1 to MIDI in 2, it happens that all layers DONāT sound..
here MIDI in 2
..and ALL three layers play
casually here all layers play, but sometimes 2 of them or sometimes no one of them
BYE! thanx

Hi Stafano!
It helps if you show us the entire window in each shot.
Iām guessing you have a shared or Global Halion layer and that the levels are showing the audio output from it.
Change your Layer Audio/MIDI toggle to MIDI - does it still show signal?

The problem seems to be that assigning hardware devices to āMIDI Connectionsā doesnāt work reliably if you reassign the same hardware to another āconnectionā. I can confirm that. That being said, you can easily select the desired hardware directly in each layer. So thereās no need to take the deviation via Connections. 
PS changing audio to midi the toggle ,doesnāt affect..
Right, but this is ok if play always in the same room with the same equipment..you set them once and then ok..
BUT
I play sometimes in different reharsal rooms with different master keyboards: changin them in āconnectionsā itās a few secondsā affair , if I had to change them layer by layer, song by song ā¦.a NIGHTMARE !!!

Well, yeah, I see your point ā¦
I think youāre misunderstanding - happy to do an AnyDesk remote session with you to sort it out. PM me if interested.

I really HOPE Iām misunderstanding!! Thanks for the AnyDesk idea.. when could you a free slot of time to do that? Thanks for your kindness
@Stefano_Breseghello - Check your messagesā¦
Having 3 Layers with 3 different instruments and needed only one layer to be playable and recordable, you create only one MIDI IN 1 and assign it as an input in all 3 MIDI tracks while they are routed to their layer. You click monitor button on the track to listen and record button to record - one or all three tracks at the time.
At the same time if you sometimes have three keyboards, but sometimes one or two, you make MIDI IN 1, 2 and 3 (all three point to one keyboard) and assign them as an input for tracks. Anyway then you hit monitor only on those tracks you want to hear and record to record. It works, I checked. I can give you my test project file.

Iām trying with another pc and itās a real disaster , iām asking myself what iām doing wrong,IF (I hope) Iām doing wrong..
This is what Iām simply doing now:
- in āconnectionsā :set keyboard A as MIDI in 1 and keyboard B as MIDI in 2
2)created layer 1 and layer 2 then routed MIDI in 1 - layer 1 , MIDI in 2 - layer 2
and until this, it all works.
- back to āconnectionsā , invert keyboard routing : keyboard A as MIDI in 2 and keyboard B as MIDI in 1 : here comes the problem : layer 2 works , layer 1 NO !!
and this is only the beginning.. adding another keyboard the combination of possible errors grows! please try this on you pc! I canāt work live with such a messy software!
I mean, Iām maybe wrong in some way, but as you can see is a much simple test , there is not much room for mistakesā¦
By the way, my computers are both Intel I9 cpu - 32gb ram 1tb SSD ..
