Patch - Program change in MachFive 2

[ng62gn]

Hi,

NI Kontakt Instrument Bank allows to combine instruments (up to 128) into 1 slot & map them to MIDI programs. All instruments in a bank share the same MIDI channel.
In DP you can then send MIDI program change (insert Patch change) to switch between them.
I use it to switch between various playing technics & articulations of the same instrument, on one track instead of using multiple tracks (1 for each i.e. Staccato, Pizz, etc.)

The question:
Is there a simple way to use the same technic (send a Patch change) in MachFive 2 ?

It seems like layers can be triggered only by a Key Switch (for live performance).
Is there a way to create banks (similar to Kontakt) ?
Rules automation do have a MIDI control change condition, but...

Thanks
NG

As far as I can tell there are no provisions for using MIDI patch change messages in MachFive. As you mentioned, you can use keyswitching or MIDI CCs instead.
