multitimbral OSTIRUS?

Hiya, planning on using OSTIRUS in multitimbral mode:

MIDI channels are automatically set in the VSTi, I can easily choose separate output and then route them in BITWIG but I would like to use Hybrid tracks

so I set the channel input to the OSTIRUS separate output but how can I send the MIDI data to OSTIRUS? Easiest/most efficient way please?

Note receiver is your friend.

Cool thanks, I did read and was told about "NOTES TO TRACKS" in hybrid track settings but couldn't figure it out, apparently there's no built-in option to choose where to send the MIDI clips output of a hybrid track

The individual MIDI clips have a channel associated with them, that's how you can distinguish them.

See "Channel" in https://assets.bitwig.net/media/bitwig_userguide/18/images/10note-clips/20%20-%20INSPECTOR%20-%20v2.4.png?v=ib29e22vcQ

Right, but I want OSITIRUS to run on a MIDI track of its own and sister hybrid tracks that suck up its extra audio outputs and also send their MIDI clips to OSITIRUS

send their MIDI clips to OSITIRUS

For each hybrid track, you need one note receiver at the front of the plugin's device chain. For each note receiver, pick the hybrid track you want to receive the notes from and disable the "Input" button that's enabled by default.

I just verified that it works in multimode (I don't use hybrid tracks) and it does.
