Sorry to hear that you're having this issue, and we're also very glad you have a backup. This is LIKELY fixed in 1.7.2, which is already queued for review with Apple. In any case: would you like to test 1.7.2? Thanks!

i tested the panic button here on my MD 1.7.1, and it seems to work, it sends a lot of note off messages.
But I'm still waiting for 1.7.2 because of the add-label-issue - it's a PITA that Apple needs so long to put a new version in the store :-(

Ollieb did you manage to test 1.7.2? This should be fixed (or perhaps was never broken). Thanks.

Answer 1

The Panic Button in MIDI Designer sends a Note Off for all channels and notes. [ User Reference Guide on Panic Button ]

Note, however, that you can also use MIDI messages for a Panic Button. Depending on your MIDI target, this might work better: fewer MIDI messages sent and the MIDI target can optimize its response.

On the other hand, your MIDI target could also ignore these messages or just use them as regular control change messages.
