How to send MIDI Program changes to hardware effects.

Hi all,
I've got a TC-M300 hardware effects processor and I want to send it program changes from within Logic Pro. How do I go about doing that? I have it hooked up to a MOTU MIDI Express USB interface.
TIA,
Michael

Create an instrument in the enviro for it.

Assign the port and channel in the parameters

Check the "Program" box

Click the number to the right of the program box and select the Program # you wish to use. It may be offset by 1.

If you already have audio routed that is all, you may want it in the arrange, maybe not.

It was something really stupid, like creating a multi-instrument and assigning each patch to a preset on the hardware FX box..;oP

Another question for you if you have the time: How can you name those program patches in the environment. i.e., instead of pulling up a program #, it will pull up a program name.
Thanks,
Michael
