Pretty much. For example, suppose my virtual band has:

- Bass
- Drumkit
- Rhodes
- etc.

When I'm at home, I'd like to plug in to my external Bass synth. When
I'm away from home, I'd like to use the software synth on my computer.
When we're rehearsing with an actual Bass player, I'd like to turn off
the Bass line and let the real Bass player play over the top (I realise
this last case is a little different, but it would be good if this
feature were also integrated into the same tool).

I'm imagining the script/program needs to interpret the midi data in
order to route it. Is that a simple matter or a difficult one?

Thanks,
