configure_mic_routing
Set up multi-mic routing with MIDI volume controls for drum samples in DecentSampler. Route each mic position to separate DAW outputs and configure MIDI CC mappings for mixing flexibility.
Instructions
Configure multi-mic routing with MIDI controls for drum samples.
This tool will:
Set up individual volume controls for each mic position (close, OH L/R, room L/R)
Route each mic to its own auxiliary output for DAW mixing
Configure MIDI CC mappings for mic volumes
Generate proper XML structure for DecentSampler
Error Handling:
Validates mic position assignments
Checks for duplicate MIDI CC assignments
Ensures valid output routing targets
Verifies bus indices are unique and valid
Returns specific errors for routing conflicts
Success Response: Returns XML structure containing:
Configured mic bus routing
Volume control mappings
MIDI CC assignments
Complete routing matrix for all samples

Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:630-674 (handler)Main execution handler for the configure_mic_routing tool. Validates input using validateMicRouting, constructs AdvancedDrumKitConfig with micBuses, generates and returns XML via generateGroupsXml.
