[sdiy] Juno 106 stuck notes

[Dave Kendall]

Hi Gil.

A shot in the dark here..... Does the A33 send bank change commands 
(MIDI CC0 and/or CC32) along with PGM changes ?

The 106 was an early MIDI instrument, and perhaps cannot handle those 
bank change messages, which IIRC, were introduced a while after MIDI 
had been widely adopted.

If you have a MIDI EVENT LIST viewer to hand in your sequencer, record 
a PGM change from the A33 into it, and have a look and see exactly what 
MIDI messages are being sent from the A33 on PGM change. There might be 
all sorts of things in there that *may* confuse the old 106......

hope this helps...

cheers,
Dave
