Option for NRPN to send NULL after message

Question

In MDP2, it would be handy to have an option on NRPN controls (and RPN controls, if they're coming) to automatically NULL the NRPN after sending its value.

Motivation:

After setting an N/RPN, it's good practice to "lock in" the value by setting N/RPN to NULL, which prevents later Data Entry messages from inadvertently changing the N/RPN's value.

• For an NRPN, the NULL messages would be CC 99=127 and CC 98=127
• For an RPN, the NULL messages would be CC 101=127 and CC 100=127

Comments

I understand the MIDI assn comment on adding Null, but when you use the MDP2 NRPN message, it always sends the NRPN MSB and LSB, so you should not get into trouble there.

MDP2 does not have a built in RPN data type, but you can build it in several ways.  In that case, always fully define the message, like above.

And avoid using stand alone CCs 98-101 in a layout.

While this is a valid recommendation, there is nothing broken, and I think there are higher priority things in Dan’s to-do list right now.
