Sorry to dredge up this old post, but I'm not having any luck getting
my PX-7 to send program changes to my synths.  Is the above still true
in the latest software revision?  I don't see any program changes in
the event list editor after I save a program and the PX-7 doesn't
appear to be sending any.

Manually inserting the program changes in the event list editor
doesn't seem to work either.
