Roland boutiques not playing nice with PC messages, Not sure what I'm doing wrong

Ok, I didn’t wait until tomorrow… I tried this tonight.

EXPERIMENT:

  1. Using Pyramid OS 3.21
    I created a track for the Boutique JU-06 and played some notes.

  2. In step mode:
    Held down the STEP button and rotated the encoder until I arrived at CC MESSAGES
    I then chose a patch number at random using the touch pad, and pressed the first step pad [01]

  3. I pressed play.

RESULTS:
The program change was immediate.
No notes were disturbed or interrupted.

FURTHER:
I changed the JU-06 back into manual mode while this was playing.
The patch change did not jump back to the random PC CC which I had set.

I pressed STOP and then PLAY
The patch did not jump back to the random PC CC which I had set.

I pressed PLAY a second time while the sequence was playing (this is set to restart the sequence for me)
The patch did not jump back to the random PC CC which I had set.

I pressed STOP twice.
The PC CC jumped right to the random CC I’d previously set.

Personally I like how this works, and I’m delighted that it doesn’t cut off any notes in so doing.

NEXT STEPS:
Try getting tricky with PC CC’s and create a track which relies on them. So there’s PC CC #1 at step 1, and another at Step 5, and perhaps yet another at Step 10.
Try this across several tracks.

I’m satisfied, and may very well add a couple of these back into my live set, as it’s a drag in the dark to remember what my tiny little notes on my set list mean in the heat of the moment.

I hope this helps you out.
