Yamaha MODX and MODX+ Forum • Why does the MODX not transmit MIDI program change when changing performances?

When I load a performance (via live set page or via category search), I would expect to receive a program change MIDI message from the MODX. However, I can not see it.

In the global settings (Settings / Advanced), there are the two options "Bank Select" and "Pgm Change". Both options are enabled on my MODX. Both the MODX and MODX+ reference manual have the same documentation for this option. For Pgm Change, it is:
Pgm Change (Program Change)
This switch enables or disables Program Change messages, both in transmission and reception. When this is set to “on,” this synthesizer responds to incoming Program Change messages.
Note that it explicitly mentions "transmission". However, for the transmission part, it does not seem to make a difference whether the option is enabled or disabled. Program changes for the performances are apparently never sent. And program changes programmed into the Zone Settings (per performance part) are transmitted regardless whether the global Pgm Change option is set or not.

The data list document shows the transmit flow, and this part also suggests the program changes are sent if the "SYSTEM Bank Select Switch" is enabled.

Either I am missing something, or both the reference manual and the data list documents are misleading about the transmission of program change messages.
