MPD32's "Program Change" and Live 8 ..Practical examples ?

[tteo]

Still havent been able to understand how to use that featere considering all I use is Live 8... I read the manual, I understand what it says but not in practice... I mapped mopst of MPD32 and UC-33 controllers to either effect parameters, to trigger session view clips or volume faders in Live ...

Can anyone make me a practical example to how/what I would be able to integrate use Program Change with a set up like that ?

With the plenty of mappings I have already down, (question) I presume I could start experimenting with it onstage then build from there as I go ?

Any advice appreciated

Live in its default form does nothing with Program Change.

The intention of Program Change is for changing a preset. Some but not all vst's support it. Along with a lot of hardware synths. Almost any keyboard or synth of any kind with midi in has some kind of program change option (it is basically the same as hitting up and down through presets)

If you use a vst effect and want to do program change, that would require you to first route a midi channel to that specific device.

For the most part, I don't know if Program Change would give you much of a bonus as a tool in Ableton Live for performance, but I highly encourage you to experiment and understand how to implement it :)

OK, thanx very much for your info, now at least I can keep working without worrying too much .. experimenting i hope that slowly i would get to understand Program Change and be able to use it effectively
