Default Do not turn on this MIDI-whatchamacallit automatically! Please... (FIXED)

When I set a send to only MIDI (Audio set to None), by default this "button" gets turned on automatically.


(clipped from the user guide)

Why would you want to turn this on automatically just because the send is set to only send MIDI?

How long did I not spend trying to find out why the heck the volume increased so dramatically!

I've been also niggling about this behaviour but too lazy to post about it tbh.

so +1 from me

How it is currently it's a bit of 'I (REAPER) decide for you (user) what you may want to do' and I don't like that generally.

(OT) and while I'm here, another similar niggle I don't like much is that multi-channel tracks get automatically switched to multi-channel metering which obviously can't be turned off by default.

And thinking of... automatically enabled or not, I don't understand the logic between 0 dB, which to me means "no change", corresponding with Bx 07 7F, which means "full volume".

If not a bug, then at least it makes a very sensible FR. But let's leave that up to Cockos / the mods. Voted!

The automatic behavior of that button puzzles me no end.

If I switch audio to "none" it'll light up, as described.

Any time I change something in the send's MIDI channel settings, say "All" to "1" or whatever, the button stays lit but when I close the send setting dialog and reopen it, the button is off and the feature disabled.



That said, how the feature works escapes me. I can't make much rhyme or rhythm to it when watching the MIDI logs of the sending and receiving track.
For example:
- I've got an item with a volume message value 100. I send it to another track with the feature enabled and the send level set to 64.
=> I expect the receiving track to receive a volume value 50 (half the original value).

It receives the original value (100) instead, why? I can have that without this feature enabled, so what's it good for anyway?.
