Zebra 1.5 had Midi Program Change/Bank Select, to the effect of many, many support incidents when it crashed.
It's a conceptual problem of hosting plugins in audio software that Midi information is passed on to the plugins in time critical threads. Thus, any program change that involves a lot of data mangling (i.e. thousands of parameters, sample loading etc.) will cause timing issues and thus in some hosts even crash.
To avoid crashes, I have dropped support for Midi Program Changes.
However, I'm working on concepts to use them for other needful things.
Cheers,
Urs

ok
thanks for your reply
i understand that pgm change can cause a huge CPU peak
but if it's just to switch from a preset to another
between songs ....at this point there s no difference with
the mouse preset selection? same cpu peak etc....
anyway good job
