Istvan,

Thanks for putting me on to the idea of controller initialization; I hadn't
know of this possibility before. I only knew about initializing variables.

I've found for Csound5 purposes, that the following header line does
everything I need - and so simply:

 ctrlinit 1, 7, 0, 8, 0, 10, 0, 11, 0

It initializes the four "problem" controllers (7, 8, 10 and 11) to zero.

Incidentally, my problem occurs because I have "always on" instruments
looking for MIDI control information, including that related to amplitude.
If it sees controller 7 (8, 10 or 11) it also sees values other than zero by
default, thus turning on the instrument even when you've not asked it to do
anything.
