program change -> CC -- Resolved

Hello
I hope someone can help me with a basic problem.
I want to use my MIDI pedal (sending program changes) to control a sequencer. I have set up the map to change any program changes from the pedal to CC Pan. I seem to remember that CC messages are the ones to use in order to map MIDI input from a controller to software.
Input: * ProgChg * * * *
Output: _ 1 Ctrl 10 10 10 10
It looks fine in the Output window.
In my sequencer I choose MIDI learn on a button and press the pedal. But nothing happens. I can see that the sequencer is getting a MIDI signal but the button doesn't "learn".
------------------------
Is this because I have to route the outout from MIDI-OX to some virtual MIDI-driver and then choose this as the MIDI IN in my sequencer? Right now the MIDI input and output in MIDI-OX are both my sound card's driver.
---------------------------
There is something about the routing I don't quite understand. I would expect this config to work:
sound card's MIDI IN -> MIDI OX -> virtual MIDI port
But the MIDI port routing window shows:
Sound card IN -> virtual port -> MIDI-OX -> Sound card OUT
This is sort the opposite of what I am expecting. And in the MIDI port activity window
------------------
I hope you can help.

Yes, you need a virtual MIDI driver (such as MIDI Yoke). You need to install it and then select it as OUTPUT in Options | MIDI Devices... After that it should appear in the Routing Window. You will need to select that same Virtual MIDI port as INPUT to your sequencer.

Thank you. Issue resolved. It turned out that I was sending a CC Expression value instead of a CC control change (which can be used with MIDI learn in my sequencer). So instead of using output Ctrl 10, I am now using output Ctrl 50 or higher.
Thank you for a wonderful program.
