hm..maybe you can give me a hand as well, with the following; on 
switching to another bank, i want to send 3 program changes to my 
nord modular, on 3 channels which are P3 tracks 5,6 and 7, but i only 
want to send them once, as i'd like to be able to tweak the knobs 
without the voice resetting every time the program change message 
comes around. as i use voices from different banks in the NM in 
different P3 banks, i also need to send 3 'bank select' messages to 
the NM, which is cc#32. so what i'm doing is using an unused track on 
the P3, which i can turn off as soon as the program changes are sent. 
on this track, i set aux A to 'auxes to track N', aux B to cc#32 and 
aux C to the 'send midi pgm' event. on aux A, B and C the first 3 
steps are active, with all the values set correctly; A1=5, A2=6, 
A3=7, B1=5, B2=5, B3=5 (all voices in NM bank 6 in this case), C1=12, 
C2=16, C3=26. the B and C values are correct, as they work when i put 
them in the tracks they're being sent to directly. nothing happens 
though; none of the messages seem to get through, and the NM pretty 
much freezes up. i've also tried staggering the B and C steps so you 
get A1&2=5, A3&4=6, A5&6=7, B1=5, B3=5, B5=5, C2=12, C4=16, C6=26, 
with the same lack of result. lastly, i've tried setting up aux B 
as 'aux D = cc#n' with the n value set to 32 and steps 1, 2 and 3 
active, aux C set to 'aux D = event n' with n set to 127(= send midi 
pgm) and steps 4, 5 and 6 active and aux D left at cc#0 and 
programmed to the correct values...also tried this with aux B&C 
staggered, but in both cases still no effect. 
any ideas? 

the best option would of course be (a user-config option?) to 
automatically send a program change for each track on switching P3 
banks...

...and while i'm at it, here's another one; is there a way to get a 
negative 'random' value with the 'Rndmz note/velo/len/delay/auxB/C/D' 
events? as they all seem to be adding to the value, not subtracting 
from it. it's be nice to have a middle value programmed and then be 
able to get a live random floating around this middle by setting aux 
A as 'knob N to auxC' where aux C is a 'Rnd mask auxD' event so a 
knob N is in control of the randomness being active or not, and 
setting aux B as 'knob N to auxD' where aux D is, say, a 'Rndmz 
length' event so another knob N is in control of the measure of 
randomness. 
i'm guessing i'd have to do something with the accumulators to get 
negative random values here, but i haven't figured it out yet..
once again, any ideas?
