I can't seem to find ANY documentation anywhere about what the program changing does on the pad kontrol.

This might have to do with just how MIDI controllers work in general, but i'm clueless.

You can change the program by holding the PROG CHANGE button.

what on earth does this do??

Hrm, okay i opened Ableton, went to midi, set to PadKontrol, and loaded something from BrainTease from Impulse's Electronic part.

i move the program thing around and nothing happens...nothing seems to be happening with any of these...what am i doing wrong?

I even have Vanguard and doing the program change doesn't change it.!

Only some vsti's accept program changes within Ableton Live. I think Vanguard is one of them that works, and I know Zebra does not. You may be using one that doesn't...

Make sure you have the track Vanguard is on armed.

Also, it’s hard to tell in the vid, but program changes fire when you release the Prog Change button. So you can’t hold the button down and turn the Encoder to scroll through sounds. You press the button down, choose the preset number you want and release the button to choose that preset.
