Welcome to the forum.

I’m presuming that by “program change” you want to change the Master number. To do so via MIDI requires sending a Parameter Change message (SysEx):
F0 43 1n 7F 00 0A 00 00 dd F7
where n = device number (0 for the first device)
dd = Master number (00 - 7F hex, 0 - 127 decimal)

Example:
F0 43 10 7F 00 0A 00 00 05 F7
will select Master number 6 on a Motif ES set up as device 1

The ability to send a SysEx message to the Motif is dependent on the computer software being run. This thread addresses doing that with Gig Performer:
https://community.gigperformer.com/t/send-sysex-to-external-midi/255

I suggest checking the Gig Performer User Guide to see if the version you have will work, or join the forum there and ask for further details.

Thank You! Got everything working as desired, one problem is, what command do i use for patches 11-16? since F0 43 10 7F 00 0A 00 00 10 F7 would jump me to bank B1?

You’re welcome.

Data bytes in the MIDI message are in hexadecimal (base 16). We usually use decimal numbers (base 10, 0~9) in our day-to-day dealings. Alphabetic characters (A~F) are used to represent certain numbers in hexadecimal.

Some examples:
10 decimal = 0A hexadecimal (A11 Master number)
11 decimal = 0B hexadecimal (A12)
12 decimal = 0C hexadecimal (A13)
--
16 decimal = 10 hexadecimal (B01)
17 decimal = 11 hexadecimal (B02)
18 decimal = 12 hexadecimal (B03)
--
26 decimal = 1A hexadecimal (B11)
27 decimal = 1B hexadecimal (B12)
28 decimal = 1C hexadecimal (B13)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

See the ES Data List, MIDI Data Format on page 63, for a conversion chart.
