Controlling external synth voice from the Motif

Controlling external synth voice from the Motif

2006-11-01 by Steve Cooke

I recently bought some analogue modelling synths via eBay with the
intention of using them alongside my Yamaha Motif Classic.

Setting up appropriate MIDI channels to enable the Motif's sequencer
to control what the external synths play was easy enough, but I'm
struggling with how to send program change data that will control
which voices and voice banks are employed by the external synths.

Does anybody who also owns one of the following synths know how to
program the Motif to determine which voices are used by the external
instruments?

The synths to which I refer are:

Yamaha AN200
Roland SH-32
Novation A-Station

Many thanks.

Regards,

Steve Cooke

I Googled MOTIF and MIDI Program Change and came across a discussion for the MOTIF 
Rack right off the bat...good luck.
