I'd like to select sequences and/or projects with programchange messages from eg. a DAW or some external midisource?
Including the WAIT option yes/no.
Simply put a PC on seq1 channel and change that.
And perhaps on user channel to change project?
Tnx.

When I bought mine I asked to the sells man about this function and he said "practically all devices that work with MIDI and uses presets/pattern responds to program changes. It will be silly not to"

I asked on Arturias Facebook page and they respond "I'm pretty sure it does responds to program changes, but ask support anyway".

Then support answered with a big No.

So +1 to program change
Control channel for the project and individual channels for each sequencer.

I absolutely need this.  Running a large Pro Tools session with multiple synth tracks and several different patches for each.  I can't instantiate 10 Matrix-12's, 10 Minimoogs, etc.  just to play different timbres.  Had I known this before purchasing, I might have saved my money.  Get it done please!

This is great news!  :) :)  However, I found no mention of it in the Matrix-12 manual (which doesn't include a MIDI implementation sheet), and when I tried sending Program Change messages from Pro Tools, nothing happened.  Am I missing something?

Aha, I seem to have figured it out!   ;D

- Open the |||\ menu.
- Create a playlist.
- Add all the presets needed.
- Make sure that playlist is selected.
- Close the menu.
- Insert Program Changes in your DAW as needed.
- Program changes are selected from the playlist as they are numbered (up to 128, I presume).

Simple (but undocumented ion the "new" manuals I downloaded yesterday).   ;)

 >:(  It seems that Program changes only work if the synth window is open. So in Pro Tools I have to click on the instrument Inset buttons to open the synth plug-in windows, set the sizes to the minimum 60%, and drag them to a separate monitor out of the way.  Workable, but tedious.

My versions were last downloaded early in 2017.  Matrix-12 is v. 2.0.4.1120, Arp 2600 is v. 3.0.4.1141.
