11.8 Program Change
Tracker+ has the ability to send program change messages. These are
MIDI standard messages which trigger a change to the current ‘program’ of
an external device by switching presets or congurations. This of course
will be dependant on the program / bank / preset structure and operation of
the receiving device. Often synths use banks and presets so the behaviour
of the device from a program change may vary.
Program change is congured as a CC parameter using number 129.

Example
Track 4
Track 4
MIDI Channel 1, with a Program Change, 129
assigned to CC A. The value will trigger the
program selection, in this example 01.
A Program Change is activated slightly ahead of
the note. However it may be better to trigger the
program change on a step prior to the note step
or at the end of a previous pattern sequence and
use micro move ‘m’ to adjust the timing.
The receiving device may have a conguration
that is not an exact match. For example a
program may start at 1 rather than 0. The offset
may need to be taken into account in the
Tracker+ step program change message.
