The issue you’re describing totally makes sense, but it isn’t a problem at all with Elektron gear sending Program Changes to non-Elektron gear. It may be an issue with other synths, I can’t speak to that. My Digitakt and Digitone send program changes to most of the gear in my studio, and you don’t need to put any CC commands – they send program change messages on their own every time you trigger a pattern change – as long as you enable send/receive program changes on the relevant devices, it works like magic.
