From a previous post……

In order to change Live Set programs you use standard Bank Select and Program Change messages... here’s how:
_These can be sent to the MONTAGE on any MIDI channel, 1-8, when the MONTAGE is in “MIDI I/O Mode” = Multi (yes any of these will work - the MONTAGE occupies the first 8 MIDI channels when in Multi Mode.
_These can be sent to the MONTAGE on any specific MIDI channel you desire when in “MIDI I/O Mode” = Single, Hybrid; select a single MIDI CH.

The Bank Select and Program Change will work on the currently active LIVE SET.
MSB 62 is Live Set
LSB is the Page number 00-15 (1-16)
PC is the slot number 00-15 (1-16)

MSB = 62
LSB = 00
PC = 00-15 .... Live Set, Page 1, slots 1-16

MSB = 62
LSB = 01
PC = 00-15 .... Live Set, Page 2, slots 1-16

MSB = 62
LSB = 02
PC = 00-15 .... Live Set, Page 3, slots 1-16

MSB = 62
LSB = 03
PC = 00-15 .... Live Set, Page 4, slots 1-16

And so on through to...

MSB = 62
LSB = 15
PC = 00-15 .... Live Set, Page 16, slots 1-16

That’s 256 Live Set Bank Select and Program Changes of the currently active Live Set Bank. 16 Pages each with 16 slots.
There are 8 USER Live Set Banks, each contain 256 slots.
“Currently Active” Live Set = means the Live Set Bank you most recently selected.

Extra Credit:
You do not have to be on one the LIVE SET grid screen when the Bank Select and Program Change data is received. Once you have selected a Live Set, you can be on any screen (even Edit) when you change to the next Live Set selection... in other words, you are not locked into any particular screen, your MSB/LSB and PC will work no matter where the MONTAGE is within its architecture.

Hope that helps.
