PROGRAM CHANGE MODE

A Program Change, often referred to as a
Patch Change, is a MIDI message used for
sending data to devices to cause them to
change to a new program. This allows you
to tell a hardware or software device which
sound to play. For example, if your
MPK61/MPK88 is controlling a piano patch
on your DAW or an external device, using a
Program Change command allows you to
easily switch to a synth patch.
There are two different types of Program Change messages on the MPK61/MPK88:
PROG CHANGE – This event will transmit a regular Program Change message (0-127) to your DAW or an
external device, allowing you to switch between 128 different program banks.
PROG+BANK – This event transmits a Program Change message (0-127), along with a Bank L (Least
Significant Bit) Change message (0-127) and a Bank M (Most Significant Bit) Change message (0-126),
which allows access of up to 16384 different program banks. You can use PROG+BANK if your DAW or
external device supports LSB and MSB.
