Hi Steve,

Exactly. This makes it easy to create multi-layered patches.

I would expect it to be somewhere in the MIDI menus, but no. I can
remap Program Change messages, but not MIDI channels.

It's not a problem in the studio, where I can just use multiple
devices, but when we're jamming in the club, I would like to be able
to rely on one synth - otherwise I will have to team up PK-6 with Korg
Z1 or Novation KS-5.
