Hi Shootie. Thanks for your thorough research on this.

A pure Program Change message shouldn’t reload the current library. It just switches the library preset, which is way faster than a library change, followed by a preset change, which seems to be happening for you. Since EZkeys2 is reloading the library, that would indicate that your controller is sending out a Bank Select message before the Program Change message. And since it re-selects Session Grand (which would be the first entry in your list of libraries?) it probably sends a Bank Select message with value 0. This could either be checked in any MIDI monitoring software, or by selecting another EZK library before incrementing using the knob, and noting if EZK2 switches back to Session Grand. It would be helpful if you could check this out. This would, at least partially, explain why EZdrummer3 said that “Action!” is loading (which is the first entry in the library list), but some other goofy stuff seems to be going on there as well, since it re-selected EZD3 Main Room most of the times.

In EZK2, you can select the same library that’s already loaded, and it will actually reload, something that couldn’t be done in EZK1. It should probably be up for discussion if that is a wise decision when it comes to Bank Select / Program Change. We’ll look into this!

 

Again, thanks for the elaborate description.
