program. You do not have to set the program change numbers if you do not need to switch the programs. To switch the
programs, program change events are used. You can enter these events in the STEP EDIT mode. For more information
about entering the program change events, see the 'STEP EDIT Mode' chapter on page 47.

If a track has a program change event with the same number set in this field, the MPC5000 switches the program at the event while playing back
