Easy Channel Change Controller?

I'm looking for a MIDI controller keyboard that can change MIDI output channels with a single button press. Been searching for a while to no avail. Anyone know of any? The more affordable, the better.

Arturia's KeyStep lets you hold the Shift button, then tap one of the numbered white or black keys to change the current MIDI channel. It's @ $120, but it's minikeys, and I guess that's technically two presses.

Thanks for the response, but yeah, that's two presses. And the mini keys would also be an issue. Also, to clarify, I'd prefer 49 (or more) full size keys.

Roland A-300PRO / A-500PRO / A-800PRO: there are three Keyboard Sets that can be fully programmed for SPLIT, DUAL and LOWER buttons using the A-PRO editor. See page 26 of the Owner Manual.

You could also opt for something like the MidiHub. A fully programmable midi interface (no computer needed after programming) that can route from anything to anywhere based on almost anything.
