But I hope that there is another solution.

Am I right that I can fix this permanently by using keynotes.cvs together with notemap.cvs
and then remap the incoming notes from channel10 to the masterchannel - somehow?

Or is it even possible to set the receiving midichannle per sampleset?
I found this sample-level keyword %channel here: https://samplerbox.readthedocs.io/en/lat...mple_Sets/?

Another way I can think of is to add a dropdown for switching channels in the webgui.

Hi DrumBox,
To make sure we are on the same page:
On this site (homspace.nl) you find corresponding image and docs.
The docs you refer to on readthedocs.io correspond to Alex's version which hasn't had updates for quite a while. He included lots of code of my version of that time (and vice versa) which makes parameters look similar. But please don't mixup docs & versions.

I was and I'm still not in favor of this channel / sample set, as this can result in the midi instrument  loosing control while browsing through the the list (you cut of the branch you're sitting on). You might argue it's responsibilty of the owner, but I'm sure it will end up in lots of questions in the forum.

There are two other options that will cover the options you mention except for the pad being the master - as explained above the box has one master only.
  • Drumpads option, see More info=>drumpads.
    Here the box will play the sounds of the notes defined for the pad in all voices. Only note on/off messages are accepted.
  • Multitimbral option, see More info=>Multitimbrals.
    Here the box will use the voice assigned to channel (voice defaults to channel#, so voice 10 for drums).
    Note on/off messages and program changes are accepted.
    Program changes will result in voice=sound change within the sample set.
    Bottom line: this covers channel on sample level.
Documentation on both is very brief but will  come to life when experimenting. For the multitimbral option you'll find and a working example in the internal sequencer sample set (I think it's the third one).

Personal usage:
I've reprogrammed a drumpad to use the master channel, so the the keyboard player and me can play simultaneously. To avoid conflicts I also reprogrammed the pads to send notes outside the keyboard area.
For real drums very clumsy as you need to rename the standard drumwavs.  Since I use that pad as an addition to my drumkit for special things (prerecorded background rifs/vocals/loops and special sounds), note assignment is special anyway. When using voice=0 (FXchannel) for fixed sounds, the keyboard player can even switch voices as she likes without affecting my drumpad sounds.

Last but not least: the webgui option. Interesting idea, have to think about that - so thanks
