Vortex wireless 2 - change midi channel for upper/lower

[mallemang]

Can I not use the keyboard itself to change the midi channel for the upper/lower functions? default they are midi ch1 and 2 and I want to be able to change midi channels on the fly so I can select different instruments in my sound module without program changes.

Impossible without the software. You could maybe route the MIDI out thru some sort of MIDI switchbox and put all your gear on channel 1 but it wouldn't be wireless and it wouldn't be pretty...

Maybe one of these.

I think i may have figured it out. I didn't understand the fact that the unit can store 25 presets and with each one you can pre-program (using the software) what midi channel is assigned to upper and lower. Then in stand-alone mode, I can easily call up any preset using the up/down on the display.

Problem solved. Wallet at ease. Congratulations!

Thanks for posting your own solution for the next guy.

Good evening guys, how are you?
I've only had my Vortex 1 for a while but I've already managed to edit interesting things.
Is it possible to configure a button on it where I can change MIDI channels? For example, I'm on channel 1 and I want to activate channel 2, and so on. Is there a toggle switch where I can select which channel I want to use?
That's because on my synthesizer, channel 1 is piano, channel 2 is organ, channel 3 is strings, etc...

Hugs and thanks
