I know zilch about it but for once there is a manual! :) and page 7, it says:
2.2.2 MIDI channel setting
To get from DIRECT SELECT to MIDI FUNCTION, press UP. The MIDI FUNCTION LED
flashes correspondingly.
This is where you determine the MIDI channels that can be sent from the
FCB1010 for various MIDI functions. You can assign different MIDI channels to
MIDI functions, For example, you can control several pieces of equipment from
your FCB1010. The selection of MIDI functions is done via footswitches 1 to 10/0.
MIDI channel 1 is the factory default for all functions.
Switch MIDI function
1 PRG CHG 1
2 PRG CHG 2
3 PRG CHG 3
4 PRG CHG 4
5 PRG CHG 5
6 CNT 1
7 CNT 2
8 EXP A
9 EXP B
10/0 NOTE
Tab. 2.1: Footswitches and assigned MIDI functions
• After selecting a MIDI function by pressing one of the footswitches,
the respective footswitch LED starts to blink.
• Press UP/ENTER to confirm the selected MIDI function. The MIDI CHAN.
LED lights up.
• Choose the MIDI channel for the selected function, either directly via
footswitches 1 through 10/0 or by using the EXPRESSION PEDAL A.
Your selection is shown in the display.
• Press UP/ENTER to confirm the chosen value and to go to the next level,
or press DOWN/ESCAPE to cancel.

First of all, thank you. Second of all; can I select different midi channels for midi functions in different presets?

It's probably mentioned in that document if it's possible or not...

Hi, did you find out?

Hi, I got an FCB1010 with the plan to use 6 switches to mute/unmute the 4 synths in the Elektron Analog Four. The trouble is that the mute CC on the Analog Four is the same (cc 94) for each track and the FCB1010 seems to send this message on 1 midi channel. If I set the 4 synths on the same channel I can unmute the 4 together but I wanted to mute them separately.

Also, do you know how to send transport start message to start the Analog Four sequencer?
