I’m using my MPC Key 61 which is connected to a number of rack modules. So for example. I connect my MPC to my Roland J990 which is set to MIDI Channel 1 On my MPC MIDI track regardless of what channel (1 to 16) I select on the Track MIDI Output Channel the keyboard still triggers the J990 and plays whatever patch I have selected. If I change the MIDI channel on my J990 it still sounds regardless. I can only conclude that regardless of what channel I select MPC transmits on every channel! I am using MPC 3.6
Would be very grateful for any advice / help .
Thanks, Michael

Thanks for your reply. I’ve managed to solve it. The problem was that for some reason when the rack synths were set to channel 1 they received MIDI on all 1 to 16 channels. I’ve got each separate rack now on 2, 3 and 4 and works fine with MPC track MIDI channel selection.
