i believe such a thing is called a program change and the way to do it changes from daw to daw
So have a look in the manual for whatever program your using and search for something along the lines of program change and you should find your answer.
dunno bout changing presets.....you could always automate the parameters you wanna change (assuming theres not loads that need to be changed), what daw you using? surely theres some way to disable an unused plug-in during playback to conserve cpu?
and yes i did expect naked girls and am quite dissapointed....
If its NI Massive, I think you need Program Lists to enable patch changes via MIDI (check the manual), for any other VSTi's just check the manual or the support forums

sorry fellas, not a very clear question.
I'm using FL8, vsti is NI Massive(but could be anyother) and yes it's a program change I'm after. When I used to use a sequencer with say a hardware keyboard I would enter a code(sysex I think) followed by the desired preset number. This would enable me to use say a atmos synth at the begining of a track then a lead there after, without having to assign separate channels.
At the moment I am opening a vsti twice.I read somewhere that you can change fx channels on the same track and just got me thinking.
When doing a bass line I like to do the old 'question and answer' style, obviously with two different basses, usually with the same vsti. so i open two of them and have them on two separate channels.so being able to have one vsti on one channel but playing two basses(one after the other) and being able to have separate fx channels on each bass is my goal.
phew! long winded of what!?
does this make scense to ANYONE?
your really trying to go the long way around just having two different sound in your song man. Why dont you just do what every other musician out there does and make two sounds for each seperate sound you want automate the paramaters you want to and then bouce it to wav so you can work with it like that without having two Massives running at the same time. Since massive is so CPU demanding this is really the way to go. Or switch to reason where you can have as many synths as you want! I also dont even thing a preset change is possible because its not a parameter that can be altered. So the best thing to do it just to create to massive as first and then automate and record then resample the WAV file and then delete the massive itself as it wont be needed anymore. Then compile your set of sound for your song and arrange them accordingly.

I told you earlier mate. For NI Massive, you HAVE to use Program Lists if you want to use program changes to change patch.
Its in the manual

Thanks for the help fellas, read the manual it is
lol
as for "going the long way round" you could'nt be more wrong
you want me to make two sounds then save them as a wav and reload them? my way i make the sounds and just use them, in ONE Massive
as for " just do what every other musician out there does " comon, seriously?
anyway thanks for taking the time to help.
