Audio Off via MIDI does not work after blank channel

Version 8.1 (17035)

Using MIDI to trigger audio

PC 1,2,3,...64 activates corresponding channel

PC 0 turns everyone of them off

EXCEPT when there is one channel that is empty

For example: I use Audio Channels 1-38 and 61-64

All channels between 1 and 38 turn off when I send a PC 0

Channels 61-64 do not. Can't stop them via MIDI

Delete/Reset channel 17: I can stop Channels 1- 16 by sending PC 0

Everything upwards of 16 can't be stopped via MIDI

I populate channel 17 again

All channels between 1 and 38 turn off when I send a PC 0, 61-64 can't be stopped via MIDI

Sending the same MIDI message to stop all channels may be the problem.

I suggest another solution:
- load a short sound (1 sec for example) into audio channel
- set audio channel volume to 0 (so that you have silent audio channel),
- set channel setting Playback Mode from Multi to Single (this means when audio channel will start playing all other audio channels will stop),
- then set MIDI message, for example PC 0 for Play (not Stop) this audio channel,
- now when you will trigger this audio channel manually on screen or with MIDI all other audio channels will stop playing.
