Omni mode = off support, or a way to limit channel

Posted on Sun 11 Jan 2026, 04:17 PM

As much as I like the four part multitimbrality of the Mask1, there are times where having the Mask1 respond to four midi channels at all times can cause problems. For example:

- I have the Mask 1 sharing a midi port with 15 other devices, each using a single midi channel. I would *like* to set the Mask1's base channel and disable listening to all other channels. Or perhaps I could set its base channel to channel 16 and simply not engage the other 3, however since the maximum base channel is 13 (settable on the Mask1) it will always be responding to other midi channels above the base. Likewise I cannot disable the listening to the three channels above the base.

- Another possible way would be to enable midi CC 124 (Omni On/Off) and allow us to set a midi "omni" param to off and have the Mask1 ignore all channels except the base. This would also serve the needs of someone with a tight channel structure in the studio.

I have no idea what sort of problems adding this sort of feature might represent but I thought I'd simply ask.

Thank you!

The easiest way we could help you is by allowing base MIDI channel to be set up to 16. It was intentionally limited to 13 so the four parts are accessible, we didn't expect it to be a downside ever but you're right that in some situations it could be helpful. We'll add that to the next update.
