Also this bug is new in 526. I have tested it in Maschine & Ableton. It seems to appear only in Maschine - again :(
This is what I found out (after a lot of testings):

- Ctrlr sends completely on its own MIDI messages to the synth, though I'm NOT "touching" Ctrlr!
- you can't see this unwanted messages in the MIDI monitor (of Ctrlr). But with an external MIDI program you can (I use "MIDI Monitor" a Mac application which has coincidentally the same name)
- Ctrlr ONLY sends this unwanted MIDI messages when the track (in which Ctrlr is loaded) is selected in Maschine - when an EMPTY Maschine track is selected Ctrlr DOESN'T send this messages
- the KIND of MIDI message which is sended depends on the panel (when a Tetra panel is loaded - Ctrlr sends NRPN messages / when a Virus panel is loaded Ctrlr sends Sysex messages)
- on wich MIDI channel Ctrlr is sending depend on which MIDI channel the current pannel is set to.
- it seems that only the component type "Slider" (also fixed/Image) are sending this messages
- I'm not sure but I could imagine that this is related to this bug: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3311076&group_id=357854&atid=2115982 ..... because I think the same component type is affected - and it appears just since 526, too.

PLEASE try to fix that! Because even if all other nasty bugs would/could be fixed by you - this bug is so annoing (unwanted messages which are send accidentally is a NO-GO) that even future Ctrlr releases are useless for me again. If you need e.g. my Tetra panel for testing (which I already send you) and you don't have it anymore - please tell...

    OK - I'm not sure if this bug is related to the bug "modulator doesn't send MIDI messages on startup", because even the modulator type "uiCombo" is accidentally send on startup (but this kind of message seems not to send messages in the way I've discribed above)

    One fact I forgot:
    - the unwanted MIDI messages aren't send all time. They are sent "just" every 5-15 seconds.

    AND I did further testings and experienced a very strange thing:
    I've closed/reopen the Maschine project (also Maschine itself) MANY times and for a reason I completely don't know, this issue was gone! Then I closed/reopen Maschine again several times and still.. no problems. Then again I closed/reopen Maschine and this issue appears again... Strange! I really swear: It was ALL the time the SAME project (and it doesn't depend on the project, because even with a new project (of course with a loaded Ctrlr plugin with panel) this issue appears and disappears!)!

    I've tested this for more than 1 hour - this issue DEFINITELY appears/disappears (approximately 10 times closing/reopen Maschine = no problems.... approximately 10 times closing/reopen Maschine = unwanted MIDI messages are send.... and so on and so on...)
