HELP!
I cannot get my Yamaha 9000 Pro to send "program change" data to my sequencer program running on a Windows PC. Well, let me qualify that. Last night after much manual reading and button pushing I was finally successful. This was accomplished by going into "MIDI", selecting "001 All Parts", checking the setup (System-Transmit-Receive-Root-Chord Detect-Store) making sure program change was checked "on" everywhere and then storing this setting in flash ram. By then it was very late and I needed to go to bed. So, secure in the knowlwdge that I had "slayed this "Dragon" and could get some productive work done the next day I went off to sleep.
However, when I went back to use it today it does not work! I went through all the steps I outlined above over and over without success. The problem is not with the receive mode (playback). I can play any of the midi files I have made or collected and they sound as they should with the sounds, volume, tempo, etc. right on.
I have three different pc sequencing programs and they all yield the same result. Simply put the 9K is not transmitting "program changes". All other data (note on/off, control change, etc.) seem OK. Any ideas to help solve this glitch?
Thanks,

001 Grand Piano
#000 = Bank MSB 0 – 112 = Bank LSB 32 – 000 = Sound

Robby,
Thanks for the reply. I tried the suggestions involving "001 All Parts, GM on, and XG on." I cannot find any button or screen that lets me access "MSB 0 and bank LSB 32." Where might I find that? What drives me crazy is the fact that night before last I was actually succesful in getting the program changes to transmit and now I can't.

Deaton,

I'm talking out of my hat (pure speculation)
Is there a setting in your software that allows you to turn on or off program change data reception? If your sure your sending program change data, maybe the software isn't recognizing(receiving)it...I am just pitching an idea that may or may not have any credence in your particular case.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm trying this with PowerTracks Pro V.8, MasterTracks Pro 4, and Yamaha XG Works. All three of them accept and playback program changes from my Ketron/Solton X1, Kurzweil K2000, and Alesis Quadra Synth. In fact a couple of nights ago the 9000 Pro sent PGs to PTP and MasterTracks. I saved the settings into flash rom as instructed by the owner's manual and went to bed. The next day it would not work and still won't. Thanks for trying.
