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.
To enter Program Change mode, press the [PROGRAM CHANGE] button. Then, turn [VALUE] dial to
select either a PROG CHANGE or PROG+BANK event.
