Anyone know how to switch kits on a Zoom MRT3b in Beatmaker 2 using MIDI program change numbers?

The operations manual says "It is also possible to send a program change message to the MRT-3 to switch the kit.", but it dosen't say how. I'm using Beatmaker 2 on the iPad, and am able to sequence the Zoom using the Keyboard instrument, but it only ever uses the 1st kit in the machine, even if I change kits on the Zoom and tap out 808 sounds on my pads at the same time. I hate that first kit. Anyone know how to send MID program changes from BM2 and switch the kit?

I don’t think BM2 nor 3 can send program changes to hardware.
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those which can finish a tune, and those which has 300 two-bar loops.

Was afraid of that. Thanks. Another thing it dosen't seem to let me do is set markers on the timeline in Sequencer view. Nothing about it in the manual.

I don’t think it has markers either.
You could maybe use a track with empty patterns and rename them.
