Automation visual bug - What you see is not what you get (FIXED)
When writing fader volume automation (I'm using a Lexicon MRC as my controller), the envelope shown on the track doesn't visually match what's been recorded.
In the example I've attached, I started at the lowest volume level, went to the highest level for those two waveform hits, then went back down to the lowest level. Reaper appears to play back the automation correctly -- it's just not represented accurately in the track window. The fader move should look like the top part of a square wave.
It appears this problem is caused by the MRC transmitting cc only if there's been a change in value, while Reaper's track window thinks, "OK, your last value was 127, and now your move a few seconds later was 64, so I'll draw a diagonal line between the 127 value and the 64 one." To the user, it looks like the fader volume is fading out, but actually it's not. PTLE displays this kind of fader move like the top part of a square wave; I don't know about other apps.
I'm using v1.809. Hope this information is helpful.
