I use the ES7 to control several rack modules on different channels. Is there a way to easily change the transmit channel than going each time into Utilities and submenus? |

It depends on exactly what you need to do, but Master mode Zones might do it. See http://www.motifator.com/index.php/support/view/understanding_motif_es_master_mode EDIT: A Song or Pattern Mix might be adequate for your needs. By default, Tracks 1-16 transmit on the same-numbered MIDI channels - that is Track 1 transmits on channel 1, etc. In Song/Pattern modes selecting Track Buttons [1]-[16] determines the Transmit Channel. You can change the Transmit Channel for a Track, if desired. |

Thank you!
it appears to be it. I can set a master presets to each of the midi channels I want to control externally.
another question if possible, is there a way to control program change for external racks using the controls on the ES (buttons and/or endless encoder)? without it having any effect on changing the master preset on the ES itself? (hope I’m clear enough..) I specifically want to control a Kurzweil PC2R, Korg TR Rack and Roland Integra 7. |

You’re welcome.

Song or Pattern mode should work if the goal is just to easily select MIDI transmit channel.

When selected, each Master setup can send Bank Select and Program Change messages on up to four MIDI channels. That does require “changing” the Master, but it could be identical to another, with just the PC different.
If you need to have the ES internal sounds not play when using its keyboard to control the external rack units…

I can’t quite follow you up on that..
Let’s say I want the ES to send a Program Change message to the Kurz which is on midi channel 2.

It’s not clear (to me) exactly what your needs are. If you want to use a Master to send a different PC message to an external device, with no other change to the ES setup, you could copy (STORE) the Master to another location, and then edit only the external PC setting of the copied Master. You could name the Masters to reflect what they do. If you could describe in some detail what your application is - a gig with a fixed sequence of events, for example - it might be easier to suggest an approach. |

Basically what I’m trying to accomplish is this - I use the Motif to control a Korg TR (Trinity) Rack. the buttons there are rather filmsy. I want to change presets on the TR Rack from the Motif. let’s say I’m controlling the TR from channel 2, now I want to change the preset from preset #100 to preset #101, then to #102 etc. |
