Does anyone know if the MPC 5000 can receive and pass thru MSB and LSB Program Change messages to it.... what i mean is, i have an M-Audio Midi keyboard(Keystation Pro 88) that can send MSB and LSB Program changes, received thru the MIDI In of the MPC 5000, Thru to my Softsynth's/Keyboard/Sound Module or Rack?

That way i can change the program of the Sound Module with out having to touch it, but just by doing it from the MIDI Keyboard

What's the name of your module or model,can't help less we know exactly what module or keyboard. :wink:

What we're looking for in the manual,is the MSB:00-127/LSB:00-127 .these are the soundbanks for example
mo-phat soundbank might be

MSb:13 LSB:0-8

LSB:0-Basses,synth,pads
LSB:1-Kick,snare,cym,etc
LSB:2-Piano,etc

remember MSB:is jus the id control number to open up the controlchange LSB;soundbanks

thanks for your response

i have several, but thats now what im trying to accomplish, i know how to change the MSB and LSB on the module from the MPC... I would like to know if the MPC can receive(and pass thru) MIDI Program Changes via MSB and LSB from a MIDI Keyboard, if so, what settings do i need to change in the MPC(this has nonthing to do with my module and keyboards, they receive MSB and LSB changes from the MPC with no problem)

disregard earlier message, but yes it can receive program change. Your better off using System exclusive
