Pitch bends/multiple instruments per instance?

[SMB3]

Hello!

I'm using Genny in the latest version of OpenMPT. I've got the basics working - one instance of the plugin loaded and a brass instrument set up to play a simple phrase. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do past this point - I'd like to get more instruments working, but I can't figure out how to do that without creating a new instance of the plugin for every instrument, which seems... excessive? To be more specific, I can get multiple instruments at once within the plugin; however, I don't know how to get them to play independently of each other. I'm not entirely sure if this is even possible in OpenMPT, since this is my first time using a VST with it, but if possible I'd like to know how to do this. Nevermind this part, I figured it out. It was simple, I'm just a dummy lol (set a unique MIDI channel for each instrument in the plugin and then use an OpenMPT instrument with matching channel number, in case anyone else runs into this)

My other issue is, I can't seem to get pitch bends or vibratos of any kind to work. OpenMPT's built-in Exx, Fxx, Gxx, and Hxx commands all have no effect, and a Zxx macro set to send a pitch bend didn't work either. Genny is clearly capable of pitch bends judging by Duck Game's soundtrack, and OpenMPT is miles ahead of DefleMask in a lot of ways and I'd rather use it if possible. I don't know how many people would be using this in a tracker instead of something like FL Studio, but if there's any ideas on how to solve these issues I'd appreciate the help. Thank you!

edit: got multiple instruments working but still no clue about the pitch bends. Tried doing it with a pitch envelope, but that had no effect as well.

Sorry for the delay on this, glad to hear you got multiple instruments working! Pitch bend functionality is now implemented in v 1.1 viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2&p=2#p2
hopefully it works how you expect it to, let me know if you have any trouble.

I'm glad they're in, thank you! The pitch bend itself seems to work properly, but I don't seem to be able to apply it to just one channel? The message OpenMPT sends includes a channel value, but a channel value of 0 applies the effect to every instrument, while any other value appears to do nothing (this occurs regardless of the MIDI channels that each instrument is mapped to). I haven't had time to fiddle with it as much as I'd like, but I'm not sure if there's anything I can do about it on my end.

Damn, I suck! I didn't realize the MIDI pitch bend messages came with a channel identifier (why wouldn't they??). This should be fixed in v 1.13!
