Program change only working with Bank 0 in Pro-Q 2
Hi there,
sending bank select and program change messages via clips in Ableton is only working with bank 0 for Pro-Q 2 (which is Bank 1 in Ableton). Higher Banks do not work. I suppose this is a bug on you side since Ableton is sending the correct MIDI data and since it works for the first Bank.
I also tested filtering out the LSB for the bank select, also this does not work.
Thanks for any pointers, Ander.

Hi Ander,
Thanks for the report; we're going to investigate the problem to see if we can reproduce it and find out what's going on.
Cheers,
Hi Ander,
Can you send me a small example session via email that demonstrates the problem? Note that presets are numbered automatically in our plugins, so you need more than 128 presets to get into bank 1 (just checking to see if you're aware of how this works).
Cheers,
I just tested directly sending program change messages via a MIDI keyboard and both bank 0 and bank 1 are working correctly. Note that for e.g. bank 1, you need to send a bank LSB value of 1, and a bank MSB value of 0. In our plugins, you would need to have more than 16384 (128*128) presets to ever use a non-zero bank MSB value. Hope this helps...

Hello Frederic,
is this as designed that the selection of presets via midi program change is only working in VST 3 and not in VST 3?
I tried it in Cubase 8.5 and only VST 2 is working.
Best Regards

Sorry, only working in VST 2 not in VST 3.
This is because VST3 does not support MIDI program changes as far as we can tell.
