Possible to change midi channel by footswitch?

Hi,

I downloaded a trial of a vst-host named Cantabile. There you can create racks with many vsti's at the same time and you can also assign every vsti's to a midi channel. If I go to Global 2.1 Midi on my LE and going through the midi channels the vsti's are changing perfectly with no cutting of the sound.

I really want to be able to use vsti's live, and i have a footswitch which I've used for program changes on my LE. Is there any way to going through the midi channls from 1-16 one after eachother with a footswitch? And if not, how can I do that?

You can assign a footswitch to 'parameter increment' I believe. Using that, you should be able to select the MIDI channel field, or use it in sequencer mode to step through timbres.

In global mode there is no "paramater increcement" alternative for the footswitch or anything I think could work. I think it's waste of money to buy an expensive midi-pedalboard just for that simple task, which is the only way I know could work. More suggestions?
