All of my sequences have different "channels" according to my TCHelicon hardware.
Is there a single command in the PowerTracks interface that establishes this "channel"?
Is there a SYSEX command, or a CC, with which I can head my sequences to establish one single "channel"?
I want to sing, with TCH harmonies, along with sequences, live.
"Channel" is in parenthesis because I am assuming it was of the sixteen midi channels- it might be something else?

There are other options involved, like how is the MIDI actually getting to the Helicon?
Most of us Midiots have a personal MIDI channel format we use .. like drums on 10, bass on 2, piano on 3, etc, then you could tell the Helicon which channel to receive.
You may also be able to assign which tracks are allowed 'out' (sent to the Helicon) to begin with.
TBH, sending All channels shouldn't be an issue IMHO. If it was me I'd actually 'play/record' the notes I wanted for harmony on a given MIDI channel, so it was consistent each time, and send that one track to the TCHelicon unit. But that's just me.
I often reserve channel 15, 14 and 13 for effects units, so I'd use one of those (or decide on another), set the Helicon to receive on that channel, and then assign PT to send that track (the one holding that MIDI channel data) out to the Helicon.
We used PT like this for many years to send to FX units, lights, anything that accepted MIDI!

Good points that Rharv is making. You need to have a specific track go to the TC unit...each time...other wise its a nightmare telling the TC unit which track to listen to. If you are using midi, the TC unit "listens" to the track that you send it and generates harmonies from that. It is usually best to use a track heavy with chords...rhythm guitar or piano...for the track that is sent to the TC unit. Although sometimes, you may just have to use a melody track if that's all that you have.
Be sure to setup your DAW such that its sending your desired track on the same midi channel that the TC unit is listen on.

Hi springtime,
Best bet is to use TC Helicon hardware product like the Voicelve Play Series of pedals. These units can accept the incoming tracks from your PC via 3.5mm aux in. It will follow the chord changes of you BIAB song to adjust the harmonies. Much easier and more simple live.

I create my tracks in BIAB then export to Logic Pro to add vocals and mix. I also have the TCH Harmony Singer for harmonies. If I understand it right, it will control the chord change harmonies with midi, but not with the exported WAV file? I have routed the WAV output of the rhythm guitar into my TCH with poor to no results and have wondered if it was even possible to control the chord changes without actually playing the guitar with it at the same time. It will read and respond to a midi channel? Is keyboard or rhythm guitar part the best for best results?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
