I’m a happy and proud owner of a Sirin, my first Moog - and I tend like to make my sounds on the fly each time from the panel settings vs loading presets.

But every time i unplug and replug in the sirin, all my hidden MIDI-only parameters get reset and I have to hook up to the Editor to set the bend range, keyboard tracking, glide type etc - on top of having to turn hard sync and other shift functions on each time - Super annoying!

Is there any way i can change the default values for the MIDI-only parameter?

from the manual I’d guess no, but hoping i’m wrong…

I think if you enable saving those parameters with each patch, it might recall them when you load the patches up again. I saw something like that in the manual?

yes, saved presets respect hidden settings, but a power cycle will reset them, it’s really annoying!! I’d reallly like to see a way to not have settings change on a reboot.
