Ok, Pattern Edit > scroll to EVENT editor.
Cursor down to the bottom left, set midi channel for program change.  
Cursor next block right.
Use the data wheel to select prog. cursor right to select program No 
with data wheel. 
Then next blocks set the bank No. so you can access programs above 127. 
and in differant banks.
MSB (most significant bit)CC:0 LSB (least significant bit)CC:32
A bit confusing maybe, have a look for bank select messages in the 
manual. (download the PX-7 PDF if your on firmware V2.0)

Also check enable program receive in your SP505 if its an option.
Dont forget to set up the XL track parameters to it sends the message 
where you want it to go.
