Hi, My question is exactly the subject's. The controller in question is a MIDIPLUS Origin 49, connected to my laptop through a usb cable. Qjackctl lists a midi input to the controller so I'm wondering if there is any way to set the midi channel from the computer. In case there is a workaround, what I'm trying to do is to have the 8 knobs and 8 sliders on this controller mapped to, for instance, all the controls in calf organ. Then I could assign one of the sliders to control the midi output's channel (or the keyboard's preset), and control other features of the synth in question. The controller does have a way to change its output channel, but one has to use the piano keys for that, which means one would have to stop playing.
I would guess a midi router could take the controller messages from whatever channel and redirect them to another. I happen to have qmidiroute, but I would imagine PD would allow even more control. There are others as well that may be better. You should even be able to route one control to one channel and another to a different one. This should add little to your CPU usage as it is just looking for a byte stream and changing one of them for the new channel.
