Hi All,

I know you can layer up Keygroups using multiple track, but I was wondering if there is a plugin out there allowing to use Keygroup as synth layer, so you can layer them in a single track.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but key range range would allow to create split in between keygroups, in my case I wish to be able to stack or blend two keygroups in the same plugin.

For example, a lot of plugin like Fabric allows you to blend two sources together as 2 independent oscillators, but I haven't seen one allowing you to use your own sample or even better keygroups which will allow you to do blend or split more easily than having to do it with 2 independent tracks.

Did you try and overlap keygroup note ranges yet?

You can use MIDI Send so that one track triggers the other, but this may not be what you want.
