Hi

When I change a patch on my external synthesizer connected to soft-synths like Reaktor, the presets on those change too (via program change messages).

I don't like this, especially not for playing live. Someone knows how to turn these off? (can't do this on my hardware synth, so has to be somewhere in the software).

Thanks

you might be able to tell the synth to not send program changes to the midi out in a menu in it somewhere. if you have to do it with software you'll probably need to use something like midiox (on pc) or controlaid (on mac) to kill only the program changes from getting through to the software.
