Hi again, just one more comment: I just noticed that mididings can be controlled via OSC: http://dsacre.github.io/mididings/doc/extra.html#hooks So you might be able to integrate the volume control, midi routing to different synths/channels, transposing etc. all via a single TouchOSC setup. Sound

I dont quite understand... You are not supposed to (dis-)connect to the synth to turn sounds on/off. You should rather send MIDI NoteOn/Off events. And for volume control, you should use MIDI CC 7 or CC 11. Why are you using nine synth instances rather than a single synth and making each sound
