[not possible] Ignore redundant PC for the MIDI block

[sarge]

Would like the ability to have the Midi block NOT send a PC on a scene change if the scene it is coming from sent that same PC value.

This would be a big help when interfacing with external gear.

I may be wrong, but this seems like low hanging fruit! Especially given the similar functionality on the midi input.

That's actually a downstream product request; the receiving device needs to handle ignoring redundancy (or not) of incoming messages -- just like the FM9 itself can (and the Axe-Fx, FM3, etc.)

Yeah, but other products come out with updates once an election cycle...
But you're not wrong
(And I actually sent this request to them as well and got crickets)

Outside AXE/FM9 there often much less intelligent MIDI-controlled devices, that have no basic MIDI functions (such as "ignore redundant PC"), so they continually reload presets causing audio artifacts and gaps (yes... I'm the "gapless guy"... ).

We might consider compensating that with the migthy CPU power we have on AXE/FM9.

I would like my FAS devices to soon conquer soon the director role also in MIDI domain, like they already are on the audio domain.
The MIDI box is a very powerful brick on this direction, IMHO there's few other things needed, in a rack AXE first, like this.
