it appears as though this will work although it seems like there may be a bug in the program change feature on the 2500. i only have experience with the 1k but maybe the 2k implements this similarly to the 2.5k:
* In a Track I set Type to MIDI, turn the Prg. to No: 1 and then set the numerical value to the number of the patch I want (7 in my case).
* If I push the Window button I get a screen asking me to set the following:
Bank Select: YES/NO MSB: 0 LSB: 0
Transmit Program Changes in this track?: Yes/No
* I set Bank Select to YES, MSB to 87, LSB to 0, and Transmit... to YES.
* I save this Sequence and right afterwards if I look at my track again it says "Prg: OFF" but if I scroll down again it retains my program setting of 7.
* Even if it says OFF if I play that track I see the program change (which is good!) but it seems strange that after saving the Sequence the Pgm: is set to OFF. Do any other MPCs do this? Perhaps I'm not understanding this feature; I'm pretty used to just programming in the changes with the step sequencer on the 1k.
Oh, and I did confirm that I can move a sequence from the 2.5k to the 1k and utilize the PROGRAM change "features" of them both.
