[amo] recording clip deletes modulation

Post by peeddrroo » Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:29 pm

to reproduce:
in an instrument rack, set an instrument's chain to any value.
create a midi clip in arrangement and set its chain value modulation so that the instrument is played.
loop the clip and record anything, the chain modulation gets deleted over the recording period.

Hi,

Is it what you're doing?

- You have an empty looped clip in Arranger, the clip is unrolled so that you can see many loop iterations in the Arranger.
- OVR is ON.
- You arm the track, turn global recording on.
- Start the transport inside this clip.
- Record some notes.

With this scenario, the modulation is kept in the new clip for me. With OVR OFF, not, of course.

yes, that's what i do, except that the arrangement is in loop mode (the loop is over the midi clip).
i'm not sure, but i think the problem occurs when stopping the recording and live consolidates the clip over the loop.

Hi,

Are you sure Overdub is ON? I still can't get the Chain selector modulation to be over-written..

i'm sure i had that yesterday.

on a side note, the chain enveloppe window doesn't have any horizontal grid lines.

You mean the envelope editor, in the clip detail view? If I select "Instrument Rack/Chain editor", I can see the horizontal lines.
