New clips are effecting automation (even with there is none)
Posted: Mon Dec 02, 2013 9:20 pm
This is driving me crazy.
My set-up for a live gig:
I have a midi track with multiple instruments in a chain. The chain is used to select which instrument plays, which I drive off dummy clips in the track. i.e. when slot 1 plays in the attached file, the piano is selected. When slot 5 plays, bass is selected. I also do preset changes in these dummy clips, but I don't think that is having an impact.
The instrument selection is working fine. What is not working is when I, after selecting an instrument, go to record a clip on the fly, either by clicking the clips record button or right clicking, insert midi clip, then the resulting clip is effecting the chain selection, even though there is no automation in that clip.
In the attached project, there are 2 clips in slots 2 and 3. 2 was recorded by clicking the slots record button, 3 was done via insert clip. You can see in both that there is no chain automation (it is showing as a red dashed line without any break points). In both cases the red dashed line is at the bass setting though.
a few questions:
1) how is the chain selection being effected when there is no automation in the clip
2) what is the effect of the red dashed line without any breakpoints
3) ANY ideas how I can get around this.
Here's the dropbox link to the small project file I put together to demo this:
