ZS3 bug or what? [Vangelis]

Software
1

I have a snapshot with three ZS3s that I can load pressing S1 S2 and S3 switches of my V4 Ztnthian.

I set 8 pads of M.Audio Axiom to send PCs:
PAD1 → sends PRG#1, MIDI Channel#1 to load ZS3-1 (PRG#1, MIDI Channel=Any)
PAD2 → sends PRG#2, MIDI Channel#1 to load ZS3-2 (PRG#2, MIDI Channel=Any)
etc.
(when I create a new ZS3 I can only edit the Program Change Number)

After loading the snapshot when I press PAD 1 a new ZS3 is created: it has PRG#1 and MIDI Ch#1 and if I press S1 replaces the stored ZS3-1

it is a bug or I need to change something?

PS
I realized that all ZS3s I created have PRG Channel [Any]
then I tried to edit for example ZS3-1 adding the MIDI Channel#1: now if I press PAD 1 , any ZS3 is created but S1 cannot load ZS3-1

does it only happen to me?

Hi @piattica !

Only the ZS3s you create by pushing the zynthian’s F1-F4 buttons (or S1-S4 if you have V4) are created with channel “Any”.
The ZS3s you create by pushing MIDI controller pads should be created with the device’s MIDI channel.

I see but they are created automatically and interfere with the ones I create. How to avoid this automation?

There is no automation. Please, describe your workflow exactly so i can reproduce your issue.

as I wrote at beginning of this tread
in my maudio axiom each PAD sends a PGM under Midi ch#1

As example:

pad2 set to send prg#2 and midi ch#1 to load Zs3-2 set for prg#2
when I press a Pad 2 it creates automatically a new ZS3 with prg#2 and midi ch#1
When I press S2 on my V4, the automatically created ZS3 Is called instead the originally created

I think the ‘automation’ you are talking about is the MIDI learning in that specifc screen (the zs3 screen).

If that says ‘Waiting for program change’ it will take the first Program Change it receives and create a zs3 for it. Just make sure to not have this screen (or message) active when invoking a Program Change to switch zs3.

Yes I am talking abot this situation

How to avoid that Waiting…?

Ensure another screen is active.

When you enter the ZS3 screen,MIDI learning is enabled by default. After any action, MIDI learning gets disabled. This has been like this from the beginning. No recent changes about this behaviour.

You are supposed to enter this screen by any of these reasons:

  • Creating a new ZS3 or updating an existing one.
  • Selecting a ZS3 from the list.
  • Modifying the ZS3 options

You don’t need to enter the ZS3 screen to change ZS3s using your controller pads.

Good suggestion , thanks

I enter in this submenu to remember which ZS3 I set in the current snapshot
Maybe it could be useful as improvement when you load a snapshot to show a personal note/description of snapshot

I did add a little improvement to ZS3 screen:

  • short push + knob#3 => toggle MIDI learn on/off
