mapping midi controller channels to ableton/reason

at the moment i have to activate/deactivate my midi controller in each program when i want to swap and play a synth in the other. i can't have it activated at the same time in both programs.

so what's the best/most efficient way to get around this?

ideally i would like to have a seperate midi channel for each prog, so i can just press a button to swap. but if theres some way of having dual drivers working, that'de be fine too.

oops - move to EKT plz mods.

hmm, currently configuring Midi-Ox...

what midi controller do you have and is it listed in the dropdown within control surfaces in abelton?

of course is fucking well is!

ahem, soz :P

but yeah, i worked out how to do it now just in case anyone else wants to try this: MidiYoke which makes 6 sort of virtual midiports/devices and then MidiOx to route different channels from your controller into Yoke. then just select different Yoke ports in your programs, BLAP.
