How to switch the playing Sequencer channel with MIDI?

Post by StefSax »

Good day! Using an external MIDI foot controller, it is well documented how to change from one program to another. My challenge is when I am in Sequencer mode, I want to switch the channel that is playing through my KROSS, say, between piano patch on MIDI channel 1 (track 1) and violins patch on MIDI channel 2 (track 2). What MIDI message would allow to perform this?

(Manually, this is done using the navigation arrows right and left to move between tracks within a song.)

Thank you very much!

Send a system exclusive message from external equipment.

Thank you for my first reply! :-) I am equipped to be able to send MIDI messages to my Kross, but I cannot figure out a message which would do this track switching function. I just went through system exclusive messages and I am not able to identify if one would allow to do this (I'm relatively new to MIDI). I think I can see how to "start sequencer" with system exclusive message. Would you be able to help me further with identifying the message for switching track? Thank you so much!
