Nord Lead 2 Performance Mode Midi Changes

Does anyone know if it's possible to send program changes to an external midi device
by pressing the A B C D buttons while in performance mode?
I can change the patches on another synth by pressing the up and down buttons while in performance
mode, but the A B C D will not change the patches on the other synth.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The A B C D buttons only turn on/off those slots. there's no midi involved there. sorry.
changing performance IS a program change, and that's why that midi gets transmitted.

Always read the Manual...
PROGRAM CHANGE
The descriptions below are only true if transmission/reception of Program Change messages is activated, see page 66.
• When you select a new Program for a Slot, a Bank Select (see below) and Program Change message is transmitted via MIDI, on the Slot’s MIDI Channel.
• Likewise, if a Program Change message is received on a certain MIDI Channel, all Slots set to that
MIDI Channel will switch to a new Program.
• When you select a new Performance, a Bank Select (see below) and Program Change message is transmitted
on the Global MIDI Channel. For information on how to set the Global MIDI Channel, see page 67.
• When a Program Change message is received on the Global MIDI Channel, a new Performance is
selected.
If the Global MIDI Channel happens to be set to the same number as one of the Program slots, the
Performance takes precedence. That is, Program Change messages on this MIDI Channel will select
Performances, not Programs.
