Endless encoders with Spitfire products
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2026 10:29 am
Hi all
I'm using a Launch Control XL3 that has endless encoders.
When using some Spitfire products - Labs, Epic choir etc, i notice that the encoders act strangely when changing patches within the pluggin.
If im on the first patch and change expression to 40%, when I change to the next patch and turn the expression encoder, it continues from / jumps to 40% again and continues from there, rather than taking on the value of the new patch.
I wondered if this is normal behaviour for these plugins. Ive tried changing a combination of midi settings for the Launch Control in Ableton - takeover mode, track / remote etc but have had no success.
With Decent Sampler I notice that everything appears to work fine when changing a patch, that the plugin seems to almost refresh each time a patch changes. I assume it works differently.
Ableton plugins also seem to work fine.
