Feature request: automatically loading patch from POD 2.0 #34

Closed MidnightRetro closed 1 year ago

MidnightRetro commented 1 year ago

When I click on a patch number on Pod-ui, it switches the POD 2.0 to that patch, BUT it doesn't load the patch into the editor, requiring to press the “load patch” button. I find this very confusing. It would be better if pressing a patch number would switch it on the Pod AND load its parameters into the editor at the same time.

Actually, it should load all the data on start-up already. Is this still a problem with the "winrt" build? Are you using a real sound card with MIDI ports or a MIDI-USB connector? Unfortunately, the latter vary greatly in quality and many don't work correctly :(

I am using a cheap USB to MIDI interface that I bought just to test your program 😁 Anyway, winrt version solved the problem

Awesome. Just one more question, if you don't mind me asking - what device do you have? Does it have a brand / model, or maybe a link to a web shop? I'm curious because I have a couple cheap USB-MIDI cables myself that do not work, so it's always good to know what to recommend when people ask.
