The master mode is quite powerful, but if you just need to quickly change programs from one sound to the next (no complex layering and such), just save them to the user program locations in the order that you'd like. There's nothing you'd overwrite there that isn't somewhere else.
You should do it in 10s or 5s or just have a bank that has your most used patches if you only use a few meat and potato sounds.
I haven't played out in a long time, but when I used to, I'd put the patches in order of the set list. Or, if the set lists were variable, I'd group patches by song.
Even more fun was when I was in cover bands. I would set up patches by the band, samples effects and all. It required a MIDI patchbay, but you ge tthe idea.
You may want to change your user name and stick around a while. Welcome.
