[LAU] Change MIDI controller's channel from PC

if you were to move a pot to change the channel, you could as well press two keys maybe ? i don't know if this is doable with one hand ;)

The manual clearly states that the keyboard doesn't recognize any midi input message, so i'd assume you won't be able to do it.
