Bug? Strange Amp switching behavior (MIDI)

MisterE

Fractal Fanatic
Latest FW.
I'm using 2 amps in parallel
I have a button on my RJM where I can switch both amp's channels simultaneously.
This used to work fine but now, only one amp's channel gets changed.
Even stranger, the amp who's channel gets changed, won't go back to the channel the second amp is on.

When using a button to change one amp, everything works fine.
It's just when I use for switching both amps simultaneously.
 
I take it that this problem has coincided with installation of this new beta FW.
If you can't get a helpful solution here then you may get an answer from Ron Minelli himself over at the RJM forum.
He's extremely good at problem solving. Good luck.
 
How are you programming the GT?
IA Button >> MIDI commands? And no grouping I presume?
 
Occasionally MMGT 22 does not behave correctly with a new FW (RJM or AX). I've seen it with me several times.
So far, a simple power-on restart of both units has always helped. Everything is resolved in two minutes :)
Try it.

I tried different approaches.
The one I initially used was:
IA button / Normal / IA Cycle

And then I chose from the menu Amp 1 / CC #58 and Amp 2 / CC # 59
So the code was:
GT 22.PNG

If I make a separate button for each amp, it works.
Not when using one button for both amps

Done that.
It's always the first thing I do

No since it's only one button
Funny enough, I just had a look at the RJM Setup and turned off "Direct Send PCs/cCCs" and now it seems to work again.

Ron's advice has been to keep that off for some time now IIRC.

Yes, Direct Send omits delays and filtering etc. Keep it turned off.
 
OK.
But it's strange that I didn't have a problem before.
But sometimes the GT acts funny.
I have to do the IT Crowd thing and then all's fine again.
 
This problem occurred again so I posted this in the RJM forum.
Ron replied:
hook up a MIDI interface to the MIDI Thru port on the Axe-Fx and see what's coming out. Are you getting two Sysex messages every time you press that message? If it starts only sending one Sysex at some point, it's probably a GT bug. If two sysexes still come out, even when you can only get one channel to change, it's probably an Axe-Fx bug.

So I checked:
I see two messages each time I switch channels:
