[LAD] MIDI program change

I've been trying to get hold of information on MIDI-2. So far I've only got overviews and limited data format info. But one thing I saw today was definitely a YES! moment. For years, I've been battling against DAWs and sequencers that insist on generating bank messages when none were sent, and then almost always set it to Bank MSB=LSB=0. The MIDI-1 spec was never 100% clear on that, but the MIDI-2 one says exactly what I've maintained all along. When sending a program change, bank change is optional! It is perfectly valid to want to change instrument on the same bank, and indeed all the hardware synths I've ever owned work in this way. -- Will J Godfrey https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
