Generally, Program Change messages are used to specify the type of instrument which should be used to play sounds on a given Channel.
This message needs only one data byte which specifies the new program number.
MIDI Control Change messages in comparison are used to control a wide variety of functions in a synthesizer.
In Elektron terms “program change” means pattern change.
So, for example, an Digitakt and a Digitone can step in sync to the next pattern.
This is how I set up Program Changes on a Octatrack-Digitakt-Syntrakt system.
Many thanks to EZBOT for his great sync video.
The OT is the master.
Its sending Program Changes on channel 10
Both the Digitakt & Syntrak are slaves.
Make sure they both are also receiving clock, transport & Program messages.
They receive Program changes on channel 10 in this example
Now when you change a pattern on the OT, the ST & DT should change in sync.
