The user manual doesn't seem to list MIDI values to receive (MSB/LSB/PC) for Performance patches. I can change to standard patches from an external MIDI device (Ex: to "Perc Organ 1" with MSB=087, LSB=064, PC=116), but I can't find any info on switching to a Performance patch. I'm hoping that can be done, as almost all the patches I use are Performance. Thanks for any help.

Occurs to me that my question would apply to ANY user-created patches (such as "Pf5xx"), and not just Performance patches.

Site section, then felt like it and use it a lot.

In Performance mode, you are using the Juno as multitimbral module. Meaning that the two parts each have their own midi channel. I once connected my Alesis Vortex to the Juno and found out that I could switch between the two Performance parts by selecting midi channels 1 or 2 on the Vortex. This was very nice on stage where I swiftly could switch from an organ to a lead sound for a solo.
Now, if there was a way to force the Juno to go into Performance mode from an outside controller, you could then send for each midi channel the correct Patch parameters.

I did not try this yet, but in the MIDI Implementation manual I see there is something possible using sysex... (page 10 and following)

therefore, there is no way to use the PROGRAM CHANGE, by selecting the sounds of the PERFORMANCE section?
this is a flaw
no one has a solution? I could use any software if there existed a solution

I stumbled over this problem, too. Sniffing the Juno's output showed that you have to send on channel 16. The following sequence switches to the first user performance:

"BF 00 55 BF 20 00 CF 00"
(MSB=085, LSB=000, PC=00, Channel=16)

Don't forget to press the "Perform" button first! (Or use a sysex command).

Just play with the last two digits to switch between your user performances.
