Sending program changes

Post by fongaboo » Sat Feb 10, 2007 6:41 pm

How does one properly send a program change in Live?

I created an event in a track set to the correct MIDI channel for the device I am trying to send the PGM CHG to, then set 'Program' under launch to the number I need sent. When the event is triggered, nothing happens.

I even added a useless note into the event, thinking it needed at least one note to work - similar to how you need a note for CC changes to be sent. But still nothing.

I know that the signal does properly send from my Live machine's MIDI to the device in question, because when I am in the drop-down choosing the PGM CHG number, it transmits it successfully at the moment I release the mouse button on the number I want. But it doesn't do it during the actual sequence!

What's going on??
