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.  

There are two different types of Program 
Change messages on the MPD26: 

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 Byte) Change message (0-127) and a Bank M (Most Significant Byte) 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. 

 

PROG CHANGE allows you to transmit a regular Program Change 
message.
