Hello everyone, sorry to say my first post on these forums is a bug.

I have noticed my G2 engine crashing when I send a bank select, followed by program change followed by reset all controllers message.

This is the normal MIDI messages I send to the G2 to control it from my sequencer:

CC BANK LSB 32
PC PROGRAM CHANGE
(Top down order)

This has always worked fine.

However if I add CC 121 (reset all controllers) to this list so that when I change the bank/preset in my sequencer it outputs:

CC BANK LSB 32
PC PROGRAM CHANGE
CC RESET ALL CONTROLLERS 121

My G2's MIDI light goes and and does not turn off and the editor outputs a message saying it has lost USB contact. I have to turn off/on before it works again.

I have replicated this crash using Cubase SX3 and Zynewave Podium (the only two sequencers I have at hand) occasionally it does not crash but the second or third time I try it crashes. It always eventually crashes.

The problem definitely seems to be related to MIDI CC 121, however when using MIDI-OX if I send a single message 121 directly to the G2 it does not crash no matter how many I throw at it.

I can only replicate this crash using sequencer software since it only seems to happen when these three MIDI messages are sent together.

Is anyone willing to try and replicate this crash to see if it is an issue with my own G2 or a real bug?

In Cubase it is fairly easy to simply add the CC121 onto the end of the normal bank select/program change pair that is normally used for hardware preset selection.

(The crash does not happen when I turn off receiving control change messages on my G2 which confirms that this definitely has something to do with CC121)

On one of my engines I made a patch that sends

bank change CC 32 - to bank 1 (value 0)
program change (to a random program (performance) that exists)
CC 121 (with values of 0, 1 and 127)

to the other engine, all on CH 16, which I use as the global channel on that 2nd engine).

This doesn't result in a crashing engine here.

I might be doing something different of course Very Happy

Interesting, thanks for that. I am doing more tests. I have not been using performances with global channel.

I just tried using the same midi commands on a performance with global channel on and it loaded everything fine! I turn global channel back off again and try and load a patch and..as expected..crash!

So it only seems to happen with global channel set to off and you are trying to load patches along with a CC121. I must have crashed my G2 about 10 times testing all this.. i hope it's alright...
