This is the expected behavior. In FluidSynth, "router_clear" deactivates *every* event, not only volume or expression controllers. I mean that after the following commands: router_clear router_begin note router_end FluidSynth will recognize notes, but not controllers or program changes, or any other message types. To activate controllers again, you need to execute the commands: router_begin cc router_end The same for program changes. You can restore them again with: router_begin prog router_end Complementary of router_clear is the command "router_default", that reassigns all the initial defaults (losing your custom rules).
