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.
There are two different types of Program
Change messages on the MPD26:
PROG CHANGE – This event will transmit
a regular Program Change message (0-
127) to your DAW or an external device,
allowing you to switch between 128
different program banks.
PROG+BANK – This event transmits a Program Change message (0-127), along with a Bank L (Least
Significant Byte) Change message (0-127) and a Bank M (Most Significant Byte) Change message (0-126),
which allows access of up to 16384 different program banks. You can use PROG+BANK if your DAW or
external device supports LSB and MSB.
