Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By obsolete Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:22 pm
Hello

My 2KXL isn't sending program change messages when I start a sequence. I mean the setting on the main screen (where it says "Pgm:" next to "ON:") and not an inserted program change event in step edit (that does work but I don't want to send a program change every time the sequence loops).

I thought when Pgm: is set to something other than OFF then a program change event is sent when the sequence starts, but only once.

When I set the value manually of Pgm: a program change event IS sent.

I'm observing what my modules are doing AND using a MIDI monitor to confirm the presence/lack of events

Transmit program changes is set to YES

Any help appreciated!

Hi, thanks, yeah I've been playing around with just that

Odd though. What's the point in that setting if it doesn't transmit the PC?
