you mean every midi command you have programmed for the echoplex starts 
with a program change for the presets? I can't quite understand why you 
would do that. is there some goal you have here? I could see if you had 
some special function you wanted to do, like changing 8ths/cycle at the 
same time as a halfspeed command, as was previously mentioned. But it 
seems 
strange to do it for every function all the time.

Most people just set parameters a certain way and leave them. Some people 
have a few different settings they switch between once in a while. that's 
the point of presets. It just simplifies changing a bunch of parameters at 
once. on the occasions when you want to change them, you would send the 
program change for it, and then otherwise go about using the echoplex the 
same way. But I don't think very many people would have a reason to send a 
program change message every time.
