Dimension Pro/Oxygen 61 program change question

Hey guys,

I'm sorry if this question has already been answered or seems obvious but I cannot for the life of me figure out a very simple thing.. I have the Oxygen 61 and Enigma software, and the MIDI matrix in DP has been really easy and intuitive to use with MIDI LEARN. One thing however I can't seem to find anywhere is a program change button.. so basically, how do I do it? Is there a way to say assign a button to program next and another to program previous so that when I'm going to a gig I can prepare specific folders for songs and then just change the programs inside with a click of a button? (eg. a track might open up with some sort of atmospheric pad, switch to piano later and then something else, but also go back to the pads later?)

Or, better still, has anyone made a preset for Enigma specifically for DP? That'd be great :)

Thanks in advance..

    Dimension Pro does not respond to MIDI program change nor MIDI bank select messages at all.  It was purposefully designed to ignore them.

    You could launch multiple instances of Dimension Pro in your host environment and have each instance responding to different MIDI channels or different selected tracks in which the instrument is hosted.  Then you just select the track or channel you want to play live.

    You can also use the arrow keys and enter key on the computer keyboard to quickly move from program to program within the program browser of a single instance of Dimension Pro.

    Ah, I see, thanks :) Too bad about that.. don't think my pc could handle several instances of DP plus I'd again have to alt-tab so the arrow keys + enter combo seems the only viable option. Still, I guess with a little practise and getting the other band members to "cover me" on tricky bits where fast switching is needed I'll be all set. Cheers :)

    Ok, here's another possibly annoying, please-don't-shoot-me-for-asking question :)

    I used to have a Korg X50 and with it a really nice trick involving a knob called resonance/hpf which could modulate most sounds in rather interesting ways (usually pads, and usually resulting in sick-sounding distortions or high-pitch "whistling" of the sound). Now thing is, I realise this is most likely a very custom-made setting on the X50 and affects only those programs but I can't help but wonder if there is some sort of alternative in Dimension Pro.. sadly, having tried a lot of the different resonance/high pass filter settings on various patches I have yet to create any discernable difference in sound.

    My question, then.. although I know it's pretty convulated.. does anyone know of any EASY ways to drastically modulate sound in DP through it's knobs without messing with the amp settings (which look a bit intimidating to me :)). Or, maybe it's just the patches I've been trying? Essentially, I need a one-stop quick and cool sound modulation which can be assigned to a knob and isn't the pitch/mod wheel ;))
