So, as is often the case, after an evening futzing around with this to no avail, I post a question and then (I think) answer it for myself minutes later. |

Firstly, thanks so much for making this in the first place - I'm looking forward to using it, and installation has been a breeze compared with other attempts to do something like this. So great work!
The problem I am having is likely to be my fault as I have no real experience with midi control, but here it is ...
Started on 32 bit Lite on a Pi Zero, but problem is same on a new 64 bit Lite Pi install.
Keyboard/controller is a Nektar Impact LX49+
On startup via 'python3 headlesspi.py' or './headlesspi.py' I could play instrument 1 piano all day I think.
Button 1 on the keyboard appears to send CC21 by default so I could immediately move down through the instruments, but same problem after assigning CC21 and CC22 to buttons 7&8 so I can navigate up and down through the patches.
Soon after changing patch - sometimes immediately, sometimes I can play a few notes first, whether I go up or down, 1 patch or several - The Pi shuts down and powers off. The variability doesn't feel like it is the built in shutdown in action but it maybe.
Example 1 - I clicked down to patch 23 and waited with no key presses - off.

Example 2 - I clicked up 1 patch and immediately it was off.

There is a slightly similar Zero shut down thread but not related to patch changes, and the --interactive option doesn't seem to do anything these days.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Stewart
