Hi!

I am just trying to set up midiprogramchange ("mpc" from now) in Bitwig. I want to send program changes to a Korg Radias.

a) I made an instrument track and dropped first the mpc, then bitwig's "external instrument" into the track. Is this the correct procedure?

b) Radias Manual says Bank 1 has LSB 0 / MSB 0, Bank 2 uses LSB 0 / MSB 1 ...
Well, I can't select 0 in mpc ... since the range goes from 1-128 instead of 0-127, do I have to select "1"? Does this send a "0"?

Right now, I have set it to
LSB 1
MSB 1
Program x
Mode: Direct - so any changes of the Program # should transmit directly.
Midi Channel is 1, same as on "external instrument" and Radias. I can play notes, so this works ... but I am not able to change programs (PrgCh on Radias is enabled gobally and per timbre).

What now?

Sorry, I am a midi newbie ...

Cheers,
Alex

Yes and yes.

From what I can tell you need to send 1 number above the bank you would expect as they are 1 indexed instead of 0.
