CCs output on reset

2006-12-29 by soundcrafter

So I've been working on a track, and having this maddening glitch pop 
up on one of my other pieces of gear - Every time I reset playback 
(ie, press STOP 3 times) the patch I'm using on my AN200 goes all 
nutty on me and I have to reset it.  So I change to a different patch 
& change back, and all is well - but it started to get on my nerves, 
so I decided to try and track it down.

I fired up MIDIOx and did some testing.  Turns out the XL7 is causing 
the problem!  If you have Channel Assign for a track set to EXT or 
BOTH, a series of CCs are sent out on that channel when you reset the 
sequence:

 07    7F    4  ---  CC: Volume     
 0A    40    4  ---  CC: PAN        
 4F    00    4  ---  Control Change 
 50    02    4  ---  Control Change 

I understand the first 2.  Set CC#7 (Volume) to 127, and set CC#10 
(Pan) to 64. But the next 2 correspond to CC#s 79 and 80 - and CC#80 
controls LFO->VCA on the AN200! Unfortunately, there is no way to 
disable that on the AN200, other than disable ALL CCs, which I really 
don't want to do. 

So, my questions:

Why does the XL send CC 79&80 on reset?  What's the significance of 
those 2 CC #s?

Is there any way to *not* send them? Or for that matter, is there a 
way to not send *any* CCs to outboard gear on reset?  It seems to do 
more harm than good, at least for me... 

I checked the manual, browsed the menus on the XL, and checked the 
archives here, but I couldn't seem to find anything helpful.  Sorry if 
this is old hat, but any help you can provide would be greatly 
appreciated!

Thanks!
