If you are in clip view of a midi track, pressing down on the select knob should display PGM, and pressing again will display "none" now, you can turn the select knob to change the PGM number (program change number) for that midi clip. You can also adjust the bank using the bank menu one level up.

If you were to clone this midi clip, you could then change the selected program number for it. Now when you change between them, the deluge will send a program change message when it fires the clip.

On a related feature request, I really wish there was a way to set a pre-send time for the PC change on clip launch. For example, my Analog Rytm can use incoming PC messages to select the next pattern it's going to play. The problem is, the Deluge sends the program change message on step one after the clip change, so I have to wait for another measure before the rytm actually changes pattern. I think there are other drum machine and grooveboxes that behave similarly.

Likewise, my sub 37 if changing between two patches on two different clips will blunt the attack of the first note as it changes the patch. If you could set a prefire time per midi track in ms or step length even, for the PC messages to send early, that would open up a world of options.

Not all synths are like this, my Prophet 08 changes instantly between patches, but some need a little time to catch up.

Id also be happy if you could just send program changes per step

I'm also posting my question here, as it seems I've encountered another MIDI problem:

I have an Arturia BeatStep Pro connected to the Deluge. I want to use the Deluge as a "sound tank" or sound module, loaded with multisampled instruments, and then use the Beatstep Pro for sequencing them. But I ran into the same problem: The Deluge sends all MIDI input to every track (and every clip) regardless if I set the midi channel in the Deluge clips to separate channels. Here's my workflow:

• 1. Set the (purple) drum channel on the BSP to channel 1
• 2. Set the (yellow) melody channel on the BSP to channel 2
• 3. Go to the Deluge and: in Song Mode, create 2 tracks (or clips?) 1 clip has a kit, one clip has a synth.
• 4. Open the clip with the kit, set it to midi channel 1, and “learn” the input to the pads on the (purple) drum channel of the BPS (which was also set to send on Midi channel 1)
• 5. Open the clip with the synth, set it to midi channel 2, and “learn” the input to the pads on the (yellow) melody channel of the BPS (which was also set to send on Midi channel 2)

This is what happens next:
The sequences that I record on sequence 1 of the BPS (Purple channel) and sequence 2 of the BPS (yellow channel) BOTH get sent to BOTH the kit and the synth clips of the Deluge, even though I had set the kit clip to receive channel 1 and the synth clip to receive channel 2. The result is a cacophony of mangled sounds, it is as if the Deluge doesn't care if incoming channels were specified, they ALL get send to all clips. So the BPS cannot play the drum kit clip and the bass synth clip separately from each other :-(

What I want to do in the end is:

Use the 3 sequencers on the BPS, by setting them to send on channel 1, 2 and 3
Make 3 clips in a song, with a drum kit, a bass part and a piano part on the Deluge.
Use the BPS to sequence (play) them separate from each other.
It was impossible to do.

Kind regards and thanks in advance, David!

I'm having the same issue with my deluge as well. On the Din MIDI, it seems to receive on all channels, regardless of what channel is sending in.
