Issues with Akai MidiMix / Reaper / Spitfire
To be honest, I'm not sure where this problem lies, but it's frustrating.
Issue is as follows:
1. I can write expression/dynamics data while playing something in. In this case, Reaper doesn't show me the track envelopes, but the data is visible when I view the MIDI data screen.
2. However, I often want to apply expression/dynamics (or whatever) after playing in or programming some midi. I can do this in the MIDI screen by drawing in the curve, fine. However, I should also be able to do this by going into Touch mode on the track.
To do this I need to disarm the track, otherwise a new take will ensue. Once the track is disarmed however, the Spitfire libraries no longer respond to my Midimix.
3. In touch mode, touching the relevant slider should start a new track envelope being recorded. But the Spitfire controls on screen don't repond to the midimix when the track is disarmed. When I use a mouse on the Spitfire controls, lo and behold, touch mode starts operating.
So the question seems to be, why does the Midimix stop controlling the Spitfire controls when the track is disarmed?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
Chris
