I read in the REALBAND manual "In order for the recording of mixer moves to work correctly for MIDI tracks, please make sure each track has its own unique MIDI channel in the Tracks window. Also, keep in mind that mixer moves will only be recorded onto the current track, so you can only record mixer moves for one track at a time."




the reason why it is important to assign separate channels to each track is because when you start a sequence, the program goes through each track one at a time and applies the midi parameters you set up for each channel.

Let's imagine you have two different tracks assigned to channel 7, for example. The first track contains your bass track, and the second contains a flute passage.

When you start the sequence, and the bass track activates a bass patch for channel 7, the flute (also on channel 7) will get the same bass patch.

As the sequence continues, when it activates the flute patch on channel 7, it will replace the bass patch for the other track that is using channel 7.

In a nutshell, when midi data gets sent to a channel, all tracks usingthat channel get the same midi data. So the only way to control each track uniquely is to give each track a unique channel


But there may be times when you want two or more tracks to use the same patch. If I am writing harmonies for the same instrument I sometimes put each part on a separate track, but assign the same channel to both tracks. That way, if I want to change patches for the harmony, I don't have to change each track separately. One change affects all tracks on that channel

Mixer moves are another kind of MIDI data, so it is best to address each track on a unique channel in that case too.
