how do you send a program change to an external synth connected to the Maschine plus?

You can’t… it’s one of the feature requests but there seems to be very little development on the M+.

Also see the topic about ‘information on updates M+’.

sadface. Not having midi program change and only being limited to 128 individual midi cc’s is a pain.

You could try the mentioned MIDI FX app for iPad (if you have one) or some hardware equivalent that can convert CC to PC or other messages.

I know it’s not native M+ functionality, but hey… don’t should the messenger 😉 as I also don’t understand why a standalone workstation is not capable of sending PC messages.

I’m currently using AUM to do it. Since the Maschine plus also is only limited to 8 audio inputs max. I have all 21 of my channels running into AUM with a midi merger to send midi pc from the iPad and still be able to play and sequence synths with the Maschine Plus.
