Can't seem to be able to switch programs with Midi CC

[Potajito]

Hi!
Probably a very dumb question, but I can't seem to be able to change programs with midi CC.
I identified the knob that I want to use a cc 3, so I modified minidexed.ini with
MIDIButtonCh=3
But probably I'm missing something and that's not the way to do it?

No, that is all about setting up MIDI button equivalents for the UI buttons. Are you wanting to use MIDI as the user-interface controls or just recognise MIDI Program Change messages directly? For MiniDexed to receive MIDI Program Change just requires the following to be enabled (which it is by default):

MIDIRXProgramChange=1

Then any tone generator listening on the MIDI channel you're using will react to the PC messages.

If you want a complete up/down/prev/next/back/home type set of buttons to navigate the MiniDexed menus over MIDI then that is what the MIDIButtons are all about.
