No. There is no simple MIDI command to change MIDI Channels. The way you change MIDI transmit channels is by pressing the front panel button 1-16. |

Probably yes, but if that’s right, what do the MSB-LSB parameters for mixing voices (page 53 of Motif xs Data List1) are for? |

Like it says those are Bank Select and Program Change messages. Quite a bit different from changing the current MIDI Channel. What is you want to do: Change Programs or MIDI channels? |

Sorry for not explaining well, when I’m in Song or Pattern mode I can assign sounds to different parts 1-16. I would like to select this parts singularly with a pedalboard for example during a live performance so I can change sounds quickly. |

As I said previously: No. There is no simple MIDI command to change MIDI Channels. (the PARTs of the MIXING) The way you change the PART that is sounding (MIDI transmit channels) quickly is by pressing the front panel button 1-16. You will not be able to change the MIDI Channel transmit, with a Channel message, it can be done only with System Exclusive messages. |

Hi! System Exclusive messages cannot be sent by the FCB1010. (please correct me if I’m wrong) I’d suggest you get the Roland FC 300. I use it to select arpeggio variations on my Yamaha s90xs with my feet by sending SysEx messages from different footswitches. It should work fine for your objectives as well. The FC300 might not be the easiest thing to program but very useful. I’m planning on teaching my FC300 to to the same as you want to do but don’t seem to get the time to do it! Please report how you did it if you do it! Kind regards from Sweden. |

You aren’t wrong, but there are ways to add on to the FCB1010’s functionality.

You’re welcome, piano-player. Another possibility is to use this MIDI Solutions product to convert CC messages from the FCB1010 into custom SysEx. |

Is it possible to send a single sysex message to change the midi channel progressively so that, with one single message sent by a single control button, I can use it like an channel UP button? |

I suggest that you investigate the capabilities of the MIDI Solutions device I linked to, and contact them about your specific needs. |

Thanks for the fast reply, but I my question was a bit different: is there a single midi sysex message that makes the motif increase the number of the selected channel in song mode instead of making 16 different sysex messages, one for each channel? If yes, what is it? I will have no problems in sending it to the keyboard, I was wondering if such a control exists.

None that I’m aware of.
Â
I’m also unaware of any single SysEx message that will change the “selected” MIDI channel in Song mode. By “selected”, I’m presuming that you want to do what you asked about in your first post of this thread. If that’s not what you mean, and especially if you know of a single message to “select” a particular channel in Song mode, please explain.
There’s a method for changing the Receive Channel of a Song’s Parts via SysEx, which I explained in this thread:
