I'm developing Max for Live device for controlling my pedals with MIDI control messages. I use "ctlout" for CC and "midiformat" for PGM. The problem is that when I load the device (or its preset) in Live, it will fire a bunch of MIDI messages, which is not always a desired behavior. What's the best practice to prevent sending some MIDI messages on loading the device? I had some luck with "change 0" command, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. "Initial enable" checkboxes are off.

Is there a document I can read that explains Max for Live device's lifecycle? It looks like "live.thisdevice" fires "loadbang" at the very last step, after sending any preset setup MIDI messages. I didn't know about this particular order, and want to learn more.
