Disable program changes

[gsbe]

The university I work for owns a Hammond XK-3C and XK-pedalboard. Someday we will get the lower manual. The choirs and orchestra occasionally want to use this setup
for pipe organ sounds. We purchased a Muse Receptor Spirit that contained a number of these pipe organ samples.

The problem: the XK-3C sends program changes to the Muse Receptor when certain things are touched: any of the black preset keys, any of the MIDI controller buttons, the leslie switch on the volume pedal, etc.

We don't want to send ANY program changes to the Muse Receptor. I can't figure out how to keep them from doing this. I have tried to program the Receptor to not listen for program changes but to no avail.

Is there a hardware device that will filter out these program changes but keep
note/volume info? Maybe this would work if I can't set the Receptor correctly.

Tonight, during a performance of a Bach piece with small string ensemble and choir, the keyboard kept switching from a nice Baroque organ sound to basically a fart sound. Live, on stage, in front of 200+ audience members. :( :( :(

HELP!

The Midi Solutions Event Processor will be able to do it (and a lot more). Details here:

Actually, its easier than this: select the SETUP menu, go to the MIDI section, and where you select the MIDI channel for program changes, simply select NONE.

Receptor will now ignore any and all program changes, the only way you can get it to change programs is by changing it on the front panel.
