scrolling through presets

I was wondering if there is a way to incrementally scroll through VSTi presets, besides using the Reaper preset drop down menu, when the VSTi has no preset changing arrows of its own on its GUI? I'm sure it's an easy thing, I just can't figure it out. I want to be able to keep playing, at least with one hand, while checking out presets. Can it be done from a controller sending MIDI messages? I have an old Roland A-33 keyboard and a Korg Nanopad. Thanks for any help.

Click the dropdown list once to give it focus, then use the cursor up/down keys to scroll through the presets.

What about for VSTs like synth 1, or arturia synths? Is there a way to send a program change message from keystroke to vst to try out different presets?
