Then, during my performance, hitting preset 10 on my midi controller would pull up the VST hosting software's saved settings for each and every synth I had not muted, along with the saved settings on each. So, for creating preset 10, I would go into whatever individual VST instruments I wanted to be part of that preset and manually change each synth's preset to be what I wanted, then use the host software to take a snapshot of that whole configuration, into preset 10, and do the same sort of thing for preset 11, and so on. The only time I care about triggering program changes from a midi controller is in a live situation, and the software I use for live performance is what is handling all of the preset changes - in other words it is that VST HOST software that is changing the loaded combination of whatever layers and whatnot are saved as one of ITS presets. I have also searched in vain through the menus and options within any VSTi that I have tried. So, what am I missing? Is there a setting in Sonar that I have missed? I have been through every item in Preferences but haven't found anything that would change this situation. When I record all the above on the Z3ta track it shows up in the event list as patch changes. Send a PROG CHANGE message from the iRig Keys (Press Oct Up/Down and same time, press PROG, then e.g. Right click on the "next preset" button in Z3ta and select MIDI Learn and hit PROG UP and. Hit PROG UP or DOWN on the keyboard and nothing happens. For example, insert an instance of Z3ta+2 on a track. Strangely a search here and on the web in general didn't really uncover anything useful. Xpand2 which has the world's tiniest on screen buttons for changing patches! So I thought it was time that I investigated the problem. This would be very useful for example when auditioning patches for a song especially where the UI is hard to use e.g.
It has bugged me for a long time that when I hit PROG UP/DOWN on my external MIDI controller keyboard (iRig Keys PRO) it has no effect on whichever VST instrument I happen to be using. Changing Patches in a VST Instrument from a MIDI Controller Keyboard
