I've got a midi track, with a midi program. The midi program sends a program change to change my synth's patch.

However, in the middle of the sequence I'd like to trigger another program change but I can't figure out how to do this. I know how to send midi ccs while the sequence is playing but I don't know how to change programs.

Any advice? Thanks!

Preferences -> MIDI_SYNC -> Program Change -> choose "Program".
After that you can send to MPC program control messages from 1 to 128, wich 1 is a program with number 1 on MPC, etc. For example, you can change Program, Track or Sequence from external midi controller, like Launchpad or from computer DAW.

i think the TS wants to send PC from the MPC, not to the MPC

so if you go into LIST EDIT, can you copy the first PC (those will be 2 events probably) into 2 other events and position the last one half way the track and change (in both copied events) the PC parameter to the one of your liking
