Apply instrument to multiple tracks (Ableton Live)

Hello,
I'm in Arrangement View of Ableton Live with 6 MIDI tracks.
I'm using the same instrument for all of them and wish to do so.
Is there an easy way to change all the tracks to a different instrument, simultaneously, please?
[At the moment, I'm having to apply the same instrument, individually, to each track... rather laborious when one wishes to test dozens of instruments!]
Fingers crossed! :D
Thank you.

you can send the outputs of as many MIDI tracks as you like to the same destination instrument.

check out the 'Several MIDI Tracks Playing the Same Instrument' section.
