Your sequencer can send a program change message that will change Bass sound
#1 on MIDI Channel 1 to Bass sound #2 on MIDI channel 2.
I had an Oberheim Matrix 1000 that could only play one sound at a time-
During Live gigs I would have the sequencer send program change messages to
it so it played a different sound in the INTRO, VERSE, BRIDGE, and CHORUS
parts of a song. Made me sound like I had more gear than I did.
