How to setup program changes to external midi instruments?

Hi,

how can I setup a external midi synth to do a program change?
I tries everything and read the manual but no success.
In addition when switching patterns a01-a02-a01 something is sent to my keyboard which makes no longer play notes on my keyboard which worked before the pattern switching.
What do I miss here?
Thanks in advance

You cannot fire "real" program changes per instrument in G-Stomper Studio.
Program Change events 0..63 have a fixed mapping in the global channel on the 64 pattern slots A-01..D-16.
So if you map the global midi channel to one of your instruments, then you can technically fire program changes towards it.
But if you do so, you also change the patterns at the same time.
In other words, it's not thought to be used that way in G-Stomper Studio, sorry.
