Indicator if Device can change sending and receiving Midi Channel

[designerfuzzi]

Would be great if you could implement a structure where the scheme can express informations if a device/software allows changing midi channels for sending and receiving data. There are a couple (actually a lot) devices and software out there where it is not possible to change the receiving midi channel and sending midi channel. But if those informations are part of the scheme this could be extremely useful in code or later on for MPE handling.

exampleA: Korg Volca Sample does not allow channel changes on the device. exampleB: Dave Smith OB-6 does not allow sending and receiving on different channels. exampleC: Ableton Push1 & Push2 have fixed channels exampleD: Roland Tr-8 comes on default GMDrum Channel 10 but can be changed. exampleE: Faderfox PC12 allows for total mix of channels and controllers even while running. exampleF: Moog Mother 32 allows a different channel and has one assignable CC out of a list. exampleG: Moog Sub 37 allows different channels as sender and different as receiver, can even echo to USB and vice versa or also feedback to sender.

or i did not discover the possibility in the scheme yet.

That certainly can be added. Thanks for the feedback!

Volca Sample is kinda weird. I have one. It uses fixed MIDI channels so that you can manipulate the parameters via the same MIDI CCs for the 10 active sample slots. But yeah, that's set in stone. No way to change it.

just a side comment: obviously have a valca sample also.. wrote patches to support pitch via note pitch and not only CC for ableton max. But your comment actually reminded me that with some changes in firmware it could work on one channel unless they placed an expensive weirdo midi splitter inside which is i think not the case. Would be a nice Christmas research project how to.. greetings
