1. you can't. you could copy the data and change the channel on the whole thing but if you send 2 PG change commands on the same channel it will not work out you just have what ever one was send last

2. the roland mc sequencers can only take bulk dumps from roland or boss stuff. they had a librarin OS for takeing bulk dumps from other gear but you had to unload the mrc OS to load the libriarian OS

3. you can have all 16 channles on each track. but you only have 2 midi outs so really its 32 channles not 128. but you do have 128 for editing or what i do some times it spread the drums out multi track style so its easyer to edit the hihats and stuff .or move a few channles onto one track like 1-8 on track 1 then you have 7 empty tracks for more recording or editing. i wish my triton did that

4. you have to do a bank change befor the programe change youll have to look at the yamahas midi implamentation charts to see what it likes. typicaly it would be CC 00 or CC 32. sometimes both or one or the other will work. play with it and see how it goes. the PG will go after the bank change make sure to give that yamaha time to change banks half a mesure or what ever works then PG change
