PROGRAM CHANGE MODE
A Program Change, often referred to as a Patch Change, is a MIDI message used for sending data to devices to cause them to change to a new program. This allows you to tell a hardware or software device which sound to play. For example, if your MPK25 is controlling a piano patch on your DAW or an external device, using a Program Change command allows you to easily switch to a synth patch.
NAVIGATING PROGRAM CHANGE MODE
1.Press the [PROGRAM CHANGE] button.
2.On Page 1, use the [VALUE] dial to select a Prog Change or Prog+Bank message on and press [ENTER].
3.On Page 2, use the [<] and [>] buttons to move through the different options and use the {VALUE] dial to change them.
4.Press [ENTER] to send the message.
There are two different types of Program Change messages on the MPK25:
PROG CHANGE – This event will transmit a regular Program Change message
PROG+BANK – This event transmits a Program Change message
