Turning off sustain pedal in session view

Post by BockTown » Sun Jun 19, 2022 7:02 am

Hi.

I see a lot of posts regarding sustain pedal issues, but I can't find an answer to this question.

In session view, if I have a clip that is turning the sustain on, and I switch to a different clip that has no sustain info, then the sustain will remain in whatever state the previous clip left it in.

This also persists if I stop all clips, and if I press the global transport stop button. The global stop button will stop the sound, but as soon as I launch a clip, the sustain is still on.

I recorded a demonstration here: https://youtu.be/wFh0wCh7WkE

I have found two ways to get out of this state:
1: Locate the track that is bein sustained, and play a clip that actively turns the sustain off.
2: Close and open the project.

These both are very cumbersome.

How would you get out of this state? If you have a lot of tracks and clips, it can be hard to tell which one has been stuck with the sustain on.

Is there really no button to "release everything"?

So, for anyone else having these sorts of issues, I just discovered the "MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset" option.

If I turn that on, then the envelopes are reset when changing clips! Wonderful.
