I would like to switch between different presets on my Eventide H9 in song mode via the MPC Live Midi. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that. Does anyone have any clues?

You should be able to send bank select and program change messages to the H9 from the Live. If you only need to change it once at the beginning of the sequence, the MIDI track has fields for the bank select and program change messages. Otherwise, you would have to send them as part of sequence data, which I believe you would either add the event to the event list or assign a button to the send that message when you press it.

Yeah, thank you. And that's correct. It works at the beginning of the sequence with bank select. But I need to switch within a sequence and I don't know how that can be implemented. There is no bank select function in the event list
