Midi Question: Send Midi Parameters to Mixer?

VST Live
21

Also check preferences “Chase Events”

22

I did a short recording.
What happens here:

  1. Playback (Flowers) starts
  2. Mic-Channel 2 is muted and then opend again
  3. Mic-Channel 2 is set to 10db (127)
  4. Song Playback ends → the SongAction says here “Next Song” on “SongEndMarker”
  5. Mic-Channel 2 jumps to -60db without any command ?!?
  6. VST jumps to the next Song

How can I “Chase Events”?

Midi-60db at Song end

23

I did a cross check.
The -60db thing also happens when you stopp the playback manually.
It´s the same behavior!

This is in the Midi Editor in Channel 2: (Mute Channel 2)

and this in Channel 1 (Set Channel to to 119/8 db)

Is that a bug or again some kind of incorrect operation?

With stop, reset controllers is applied, which sets modulation controller to 0 (zero).

I filter out this midi command for exactly this reason.
Maybe useful for keys - but not for automation of mixing consoles in live use.
One possibility would be to let the user decide, whether there is a reset command for the MIDI controller after the stop, or not.
@musicullum - Hey come on, it’s just one radio button more and some code snippets… :upside_down_face:

What do I have to change now so that the reduction doesn’t occur to me? I don’t have “Stop” configured. The song actions are set as shown - what do I need to change?

Song Action

27

Any selection of a new Song will stop transport.
When a Song is stopped, reset controllers is issued, which sends mod wheel to 0.
We will add a preference to surpress reset controllers.

Just trying to avoid preferences wherever possible otherwise.
But here, it does make sense.

That sounds promising, then I can proceed to control our Behringer XR18 via our VSTLive backings.

Thanks for your support.

Hi @musicullum , hi @Detgyver ,

Could you help me to understand a bit? Opened my project with last friday’s v1.4.63. When looking MIDI monitor for MIDI track that is adjusting my STACK channel SEND(s) signals (via CC#21-24), it’s not reseted, or can’t see such “reset” signal, my SEND remains “untouched” when of STOPping. How is different what @Detgyver is facing, or what to look to understand the difference?
Thanks a lot help me to understand this :slight_smile:

Detgyver is using modulation wheel to control the X32. That particular controller is reset on stop. Only Modulation, Pitch Bend, and Sustain Pedal are reset on Stop, which can be avoided with the coming new preference “Reset Controllers” (initially active).

Hi,…is there a way to “clean” the saved connection configurations in a project file?

I changed interface between two different “UMC ASIO driver” , one has 2 in 4 outs, the other 18 ins 20 outs but the driver name is the same (berhinger umc driver is the same for both interfaces), so it always load the one with fewer ins and outs even when the bigger interface is connected, and set some ins and outs as virtual audio intead of the phisical ones, i have to rebuild the connection every time…

Thanks, ciro.
