Dear all,
I'm using an MPC Key 61.

I would like to send a Program Change to an external device by pressing a key or by touching a Q-Link-key or - ideally - by pressing a pad.

Is that possible with an MPC ?

I'm aware that a midi track can send a Program Change at the beginning of a sequence. I'm also aware that there's an event list in which I can insert a Program Change Event at a particular bar/beat.

What I however need, is to send via Midi a Program Change in real time, by touching or pressing a control (Pad, Q-Link, or even a button). I need also to record (automation ? ) this event, so that the sequencer will reproduce it at the desired moment when it runs.

Thanks for your attention
Sergio
