2.1.7 Automation <nc> does not prevent messages sending to layer

VST Live
1

Just started playing with automation, as an alternative to a MIDI track, and noticed this:-

Create an automation track
Assign track output to a layer. In my case the layer just outputs to a MIDI channel, i.e. no vst instrument .
Map the output of 12 to Volume (was actually trying to send CC12 originally)
Draw some automation
Hit play and volume follows the track ok
Clear the mapping by setting to
Volume is still controlled

Same issue with pan and mute

That aside - how do I send CC12 changes with an automation track?

Will check, thanks.

Why would you want to do that and not take a MIDI track?

…because MIDI tracks aren’t sending correctly in 2.1.7 so I’m looking for a work around. Have had to roll back to 2.1.4 to make them work.

Now if I could automate the Quick Controls in a layer that may well solve my problems - feature request?

… fixed with the next update. Please re-try,
Michael.

You can do that: Devices/Actions and Shortcuts/Layer, add action, Action Quick 1-8

Sorry @musicullum - I’m having a “me dumb” day.

So I set up a layer action, say for controller 12, set up quick control in the layer to controller 12, create an automation track and link it to my layer, but the automation mappings only show Volume, Pan & Mute - what am I missing?

… we will add the missing Quick Controlls to the next Pre Release.
