I am using an MPC Live that I have had for about a year with my G2s, and yesterday I tried an MPC feature for the first time. It worked for a while but then my G2X (1.62) started locking up

I am using the MIDI program feature to send a MIDI bank and program change message for my Nord G2. In experimenting I discovered that this is sent as soon as the MPC project loads, which made me happy as this is something I have REALLY wanted to do. So I added the appropriate settings to about 6 songs, did a test (it worked) and even made a video of it working to send to my bandmates. Then I added it to the rest of our songs, went to sequentially test them... and my G2 locked up. It continues to lock up each time I load a project.

In looking at the output of the MPC with Midi-OX when a project is loaded, this is what I see:

CODE: SELECT ALL
===> MIDI-OX Version: 7.0.2.372

In other words the program change is sent 4 times in rapid succession. Presumably the G2 chokes on that.

But... why did it work and then not?

I have rebooted the G2 and MPC several times.

A related issue is that the MSB Off setting is not saved properly; if I set the MSB to Off, it reverts to 0 when the project is loaded. I do not know if this is causing the issue as the G2 does not use the MSB.

Any thoughts? I am also researching the Akai end of the problem.

It might also be a corrupted patch maybe?

In the old days I did a lot of programmed program changes from one G2 engine to another, and that was flawless, however:

I never used the BankSelect MSB and I would always send a combination of a ProgramChange and a BankSelect, but it could be quite rappidly.

I seem to recall the G2 was picky on it in that it wanted both PC and BS, and in a specific order.

But it has been a while, good luck :-)

Good idea, but no.

I have also realized that it is only some performances that do this, I am going to start drilling down.
