    Hi,

    I use Logic9 to sequence my music and now with VI Pro I'm getting a bit confused.

    In my preset I have 3 matrices (A, B & C) and I use program changes to switch between them. Each matrix has several articulations that I control with CC32 (that's the same as program changes if I'm correct).

    In L9 I give the following command:

    1 1 1 1 Program 1 0 2 [electric grand] (position (1 1 1 1), type (program change), channel (1), Num (0), Val (2) and Length/info (L9 uses GM names I guess)). So I select matrix C (L9 counts from 0, so the third matrix), first articulation.

    Then comes the note:

    1 1 1 1 Note 1 C#2 127 - 3 0 0 (a C#2, velocity 127 with a certain length)

    At bar 2 I want a different articulation:

    2 1 1 1 Program 1 10 0 [grand piano]. So that's matrix A, third articulation (I use steps of 5 because VI Pro won't allow steps of 1)

    And a new note:

    2 1 1 1 Note 1 C#2 127 - 3 0 0

    What happens is this:

    first play through:

    matrix C, articulation 1 >> note

    matrix A, articulation 3 >> note

    but when playing it again I get:

    matrix C, articulation 3 >> note

    matrix A, articulation 3 >> note

    So somehow (not sure if this is due to L9 but I suspect Vi Pro) the program change does not work correctly. It could be that it is because I use one program change to switch between both matrix AND articulation and this info gets lost somehow.

    Any ideas?

    Ah,

    some new info: duplicating the program changed fixes the issue. So twice the same information does put both matrix as articulation right.

    I guess VI Pro thinks it's done when it finds something that is different and doesn't look for other things that might be different.
