mdmayfield Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi all, Lately I'm noticing my HD500 is starting up with preset 1A. I don't recall it always doing that; I seem to remember that it used to start up with whichever patch was last selected. (Technically, the patch plus the temporary edit buffer, since I recall it remembering unsaved edits across power cycles, too.) Is there a setting I might have switched accidentally somewhere? Or am I remembering wrong? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 not normal. It turns on to the last used patch. I don't know about unsaved edits because I would never turn the unit off without saving. Nor do I know about a setting that you may have switched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't think it's normal. The last patch is what should pop up. Are you saving the patch before you shut it down? If not try that and see what gives. I always edit with the Pod and save with the Pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmayfield Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thanks for the replies! I figured it out - the HD500 is currently controlled via MIDI Program Change messages from a computer DAW + USB MIDI interface for use with live backing tracks. This time while shutting down the computer, I watched the HD500 screen, and noticed that for some reason, the USB MIDI interface is sending a program change to 1A when the computer powers down.

Not editing for the purpose of saving... that would be foolish. This is behavior I noticed because any FS will trigger the "patch edited" flag. Then if you power off and on, the patch (in reality the edit buffer) will be in the same state of FX enabled/bypassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I can't say if that is normal - I have no experience in it. But it makes sense. Certain midi units don't engage until they hit 0 or 127 (all up or all down). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
