pc controls channel

The Minus (-) and Plus (+) keys on the extended Keypad changes the channel the ( computer) keyboard plays on. I use this feature to choose which bank receives the program changes midiox sends out to Kontakt 2, each bank being set to listen to a different channel. I use a data map- this works fine.
How will I acheive that all midi notes as well are sent on that (changing) channel?
I will create a new instance of midiox with some patch mapping I think. like : when a pc is detected on channel 2, every notes will be redirected to channel 2...I bet this will be simple, thank you for your help.

I guess this is not so simple after all, or maybe I did not phrase this in a clear way?
I am now looking for another way to select which Bank is activated in Kontakt 2 with the computer keyboard input method of Midiox.
Is my question too specific to Kontakt2 ?
Any input would be appreciated.

Have you tried the idea you suggested in your first post?

Reading other posts I realized that midiox has no memory. Does'nt that prevent the :" until another program change is detected, all notes on-off will be redirected to the channel the pc had been detected on" approach?
I wouldn't know how to do it if it seems possible to you.
Thank you for your answer.

Made me reread the help file about patch mapping.
The difference between your setup and my project is that I wanted: "a program change received on a channel makes everything coming in on channel one be redirected on that channel the program change was received on until a new channel transmits a program change".
After reading your suggestion I tried to modify my project sticking to what I had just learned about patch mapping.
Like:"a program change N received on channel X activates a data map (through patch mapping) that redirects anything received on channel one ( notes on-off and pc ) to channel N"
I have now a fully functionnal setup of using a simple usb keypad to control multiple banks in Kontakt 2 played live on a midi piano ( midi channel 1 transmit only). Each bank is set to listen to a specific midi channel and program changes select which instrument is played. See my earlier posts about using Autohotkey.
Thank you for your help.
