OK I'm a complete idiot but I need some help. (M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61)

So I remember there being a way to do this from when I first bought the keyboard, and have done it in the past, but for some reason, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to work NOW.

I basically want to set it up to where I can switch my VST plugins from the MIDI controller.

I thought the way I did it before was to click the gear on the VST plugin, go to settings, and set them to different MIDI input ports, and to switch them out on the keyboard I would hold SHIFT and push the key on the MIDI keyboard that lists the GLOBAL CHANNEL corresponding to the MIDI channel I want. But it isn't working. I set the MIDI input ports in FL, I change them on the keyboard but it does nothing. Just stays on the same VST I was already on until I use the mouse to click on the other VST.

What am I missing here?
