I am trying to use Repro1 and Repro5 with Ableton on a Mac in a liveset situation. To change presets automatically I want to set program changes and use the special folder with the midi programs. The manual says:
‘Local’ also contains a special folder called ‘MIDI Programs’ which is normally empty. When the first instance of Repro-5 starts, up to 128 presets from that folder are loaded into memory so they can be selected via MIDI Program Change message. It is a good idea to call those presets e.g. ‘000 rest-of-name’ to ‘127 rest-of-name’, as they are accessed in alphabetical order.
Unfortunately this is not working as the presets appear in a random order.

That's because of Apple removing their file sorting feature in the new APFS file system.
We fixed this by including our own file sorting, but only later realized that it shows the presets in correct order in the MIDI programs folder, but when sending program change messages, the presets are still loaded in an unsorted way.
This will be fixed with the next update, but I have no estimate for wen this will happen.

Thank you very much for the information and good luck with the patch!
