Default MIDI-CC reset when looping item (FIXED)

Reaper resets the CC moved in current loop cycle to 0 on loop end. Floating issue, doesn't happen every time.
During loop playback I move these two CCs and leave it on some non-zero position. When the loop ends, reaper resets those CCs to 0.

Notes:
- there are no any CC events in the item, just 3 notes
- the issue doesn't happen after I move those knobs by mouse, it happens after moving it by MIDI-CC only
- if the issue hasn't arisen after the first loop cycle (during which I moved the CCs), it won't arise on further cycles (if I won't touch these CCs further)

Versions affected: it began from some Reaper 4.xx and is succeeding to further versions. The bug is still there in 4.5rc13.

Proof 1 (I was able to catch those resets by VST MIDI-monitor inserted before the controlled VSTi):


Proof 2 (Real example. Look at FM Amt [left lower corner] and CutOff knobs. Firstly I move it from MIDI-keyboard, leave it to some position, but Reaper resets it to 0):

That's (intermittently not correctly chasing the previous CC) a known issue, fix is supposed to come in the next version (maybe the one after that). This is also depending on block/buffer size, larger buffers are less prone to fail.

Apart of the intermittent non-chasing, if there's a CC command preceding the loop/in the previous item, REAPER is chasing that value on loop start (since there is no 'no chasing when looping' exception implemented).

I would like to hope by "the next version" the next beta is meant ?

Also just in case would like to take your attention that in my case there are no any CC-events recorded/drawn in the item. As well as there are no any items (and therefore any CC-events) on the left and right sides of this looped item, as it's shown on the screenshot. I my case it's just looped item with the notes, but the CCs are tweaked from my MIDI-keyboard in real time (the track is armed and monitored).

The issue is years old, not just 7 months. Patience dies last.

Unfortunatly you're right. It really freaks me off, whenever I try to jam to a loop and try controlling cutoff/resonance and every repeat it gets reset. It is beyond my understanding how people can think this behaviour is something that is annoying for only a few people?!
Everyone who tweaks parameters will sometimes stumble upon this. Come on, this is terrible.
I was just about designing a touchscreen template with a build in x/y-pad for filter tweaking...impossible with this bug.
Cockos, this makes midi almost useless in reaper for EDM producers.
Just my 2 cents

Yeah, I also don't like the current behaviour.

Hi, Witti,

there's no loop defined, right?
Tried to disable the checkboxes for "on stop/play:" under preferences/audio/midi devices?

Version 4.60: bug still present.
The behaviour is not evident in version 4.00 so it shouldn´t be such a huge thing to fix, right? The issue doesn´t seem to be of a big importance though, gets a priority of "3" yet : http://forum.cockos.com/project.php?issueid=3639

Well, only 7 users able to reproduce the bug?

Finally! I guess hell froze over

Don't forget including hardware MIDI outputs in the fix, in case this CC reset happens in these situations, as well!

It seems to work here, chasing is now correct when looping.

If you can post a minimal test project and instructions to duplicate, please do. Also include your audio device samplerate and blocksize.

Actually, I'm not sure what kind of test project could help with this, because I don't do anything special to get the problem. Just I get a VST, draw some notes and tweak CCs.

In the example below I tweak 2 knobs. FM Amt knob becomes reset after the 1st loop, the second knob survives until the 4th loop.

Buffer size is visible on the screenshot as well. If I could help anyhow else, please let me know.

Simply, but i also waiting for the solution:

In loop-mode always Reaper sends on loop-restart the reset-messages to the midi-outs (/VST's). If the reset-messages goes to interfaces and final to the synthesizers, the synthesizers (hardware, or internal VST-Plugins) resets in different kind of art.
In this case it's never possible to simply jam around or produce in loop-mode.

There are this Midi messages in midi-protocol:
CC120 | [Channel Mode Message] All Sound Off
CC121 | [Channel Mode Message] Reset All Controllers
CC123 | [Channel Mode Message] All Notes Off
and maybe:
11111111 = FF = 255 | [SysEx. 1 byte] Reset all receivers in the system to power-up status

In Preferences we just can uncheck the boxes for start(/stop) of sequencer.
Same boxes we also request for same behaviour in loop-mode.

I would suggest continuing discussion in the prerelease thread until it's 100% verified that the issue is fixed.

I tested this with FM8 and Zebralette and CCs seem to be properly chased when looping. Now, could it be that it's only PARTICULAR CCs that aren't chased correctly? I tested only CC1, CC11, CC7, CC64, and such...

dr.squ, it is something else not about this thread for sure. In this thread the topic is exactly CC value 0 is sent, but not Reset All Controllers or like that.

EvilDragon, don't think so, I tested different numbers, it doesn't matter.

Auralviolence

If Reaper sends "CC121 Reset All Controllers", then the synthesizer (or plugins) resets the own controllers to value 0 ... and then some synthesizer (or plugins) also send the reseted controllers with value 0 back.

Not all synthesizers/plugins resets with same procedure. As example, some equipment don't understand midi-reset-messages; and some equipment don't reset all parameters. etc.

dr.squ, in the first post is inserted the screenshot of MIDI-monitor when it happens. It's not system message like reset, it's just CC 0 value.

That's the problem Would be good if more users could test it.
Btw, just in case I just checked it with FM8 (since you tested with it), but the same problem, so it doesn't depend on VST.

Who told you that (rhetorical question)? Your license is either only valid up to 3.78 (the last v3 series release) or up to the last of the v4 series releases.

Ok... so when i bought my Reaper it was going on version 4.32 so i can use my lincense till 4.99 for eg.?

It´s because when i bought the license it was said in the side column that i could only make upgrades till version 4.60 with this license. maybe i miss understood .. anyway i believe i talked to someone on internet and we both mention that.

... it seems that i can make use of at least one version that has this bug fixed ... is that so?

Thanks.

Thanks!
