Does anyone have an A-80 set up to use with their

could you give me a little advice on the easiest way to use the two
devices? I just got an A-80 and its been years since i've used my
760 and other midi gear and so I dont understand everything like I
want to.
I'd like to be able to change s760 performances from the A80. Say
i load in a volume and go to performance mode. All of the
performances are on their own midi chan, or i can step through them
with the mouse on the 1st chan. Can I somehow do that from the A80?
I once owned an A80, but that's long ago so my memory is a little
vague.
The A80 of course can send MIDI Program Change messages. AFAIR it
cannot send Bank Select messages.
I used Program Change messages to make the S-760 load volumes from
disk (ZIP drive in my case). This worked very well.
I had a MIDI patchbay that sent out Program Change messages to my
S-760 to change the Performances and it worked fine with the 20 or so
Performances I'd made. The Performances were stored on a Volume (like
a partition) that resided on an external SCSI hard drive, and you
could configure the S-760 to auto-load a specific volume for you when
your S-760 first started up. Very handy for live work. Should have an
explanation of how to do all this in the S-760 Manual.
