Bank Changes via midi

Hi is it possible to send midi messages to the sampler to change the bank (bank load ) ?

I would really like to know this as well. I use the MS live controlled via midi from another synth and it would make my life much easier if this was possible.

thanks

I am pretty sure that you can't do this. You must know by now how long it takes to load/save a bank (depending on the samples). And it has warnings everywhere about not touching the machine when it is saving or loading a bank. I have been playing with controlling it via my iPad and other things and have been messing with SysEx messages, but haven't seen any way to change the bank via MIDI. Doesn't mean you can't, I just haven't seen evidence for it yet.

According to the MIDI implementation chart, it doesn't send or recieve program change messages through MIDI.

Resurecting this....

I am using the MS with my elekton monomachine.
The two sync ok [bpm/transport] but i am hoping that when i change bank on the MNM i can also send a message to change on the corresponding bank on the MS??

Any info would be much appreciated.....
