I've read previous posts and don't see a clear answer to this question. I see in the S88 mk3 manual, in MIDI mode, "The keys send MIDI Note messages and MIDI Key Pressure messages (polyphonic aftertouch) on MIDI channel 1."
This would be a replacement of my main controller (PC88) to use live with Apple MainStage. I need to be able to change the transmitted MIDI channel quickly between songs. Can I use the 8 buttons above the screen to select the transmit channel? I need all pedals and wheels to follow the MIDI channel of the keyboard. (Or maybe have one extra switch pedal that is always on it's own channel.)
I've read here that I can use the KK app to create templates with different MIDI channels but it's not clear if I need to interact with the app directly to switch channels or if I can do it from the face of the S88 after it is setup. I don't want to have to switch to another app while MainStage is running and I can't go diving into menu pages to scroll through the MIDI channel selection. In my live shows, I sometimes have less than a second to change instrument sounds.
Thanks
