midi instrument set up...

Hi guys,
OK i have my mpc hooked up to two synths and a sound module. My midi loop is working fine, and have been making some great sounds using the mpc as a hardware sequencer and sampler. I have the MPC tutor guide and have looking through this site to try and find how to do this, but couldn't find anything directly relating to my problem.

I want to be able to save the synths program data to the tracks on the MPC so I can change tracks and the synth will change program and settings without me having to do it manually each time .This is for live stuff where I need to drop in new lines streight away. Anyone know what I'm talking about? its got to be easy, I just haven't found it yet.

I used to sample the synth lines and cut them up, which is great but for those real phat bass lines is good to be able to tweek them live.

If you can post your midi set ups and your solutions to these problems its gonna help!

Good things.

Do you mean change tracks or change sequence?

The manual tells you how to insert a midi program change event into a track (pg 33, I think) you can also record them from the synth, but if you have multiple tracks in the same sequence all sending different PC commands it's going to make things a bit tricky. Even if you're doing the mute/unmute thing since you'll have to do it exactly on time.
