If you have access to Bitwig, the stock Instrument Selector plugin would do exactly what you need.It would be handy to be able to vary which of a few instruments gets played via one midi clip according to a system, i.e. round robin, random cycle etc.
Modes available (taken from the User Guide):
- Manual - Target layer is set by user, controller, modulator, and/or automation
- Round-robin - New note triggers the next layer (for notes in series, or individual notes within a chord)
- Free-robin - Round-robin, but skips used voices when possible
- Free Voice - New note uses the first free layer. Always starts with the first layer for more predictable results. (Also ideal for loading multiple layers with HW CV Instrument to create polyphony with Eurorack hardware.)
- Random - New note randomly selects a layer (nice with a pile of different audio FX)
- Random Other - New note randomly selects a different layer (to guarantee a change each time)
- Keyswitches - Designated notes set the target layer (you define the lowest keyswitch; so if set to note C2 and the Selector has 3 layers, C2 switches to layer 1, C#2 switches to layer two, and D2 switches to layer 3). Good for film scoring with different sounds and articulations.
- CC - Designated continuous controller sets target layer (you define a continuous controller [default CC1 - mod wheel], whose full range will morph evenly thru all layers). For example, using mod wheel to cycle thru various note FX.
- Program Change - PC messages set the target layer (program change messages map directly to each layer). Common output from pedal controllers, etc.
