Hello Bernard,
> [S8] Extended program change. Since program change #64 to 127 have no effect, they could double up #0 to 63 with an extended function...

I could imagine a different usage for the program change commands 64 and
up: it could be used to select between different sequences or patterns,
or even different function settings.
Especially selecting different function settings looks promising for me:
you could select first a patch with PC#0-#63, and then switch between
different settings regarding the various dynamic modulations like
velocity, aftertouch or modwheel with a PC >= 64.
Whether a patch select should send the tone data via CC/... should be
set with a basic setting.
