on mpcx 2.8.1 in standalone,i can't figure out how to do to make the midi tracks behave like all the others.
if i set a volume in a program track and i change the sequence, the volume still the same.
why this isn't the case with midi tracks ? is there a way to keep the same settings of fader position in midi for all the sequences ?

more precisely, if i set level of a midi track in sequence 1, it keep the level (let say 100) set in all the others sequences. but if i move my fader in another sequence (for exemple 80), then when i back and fourth to thoses sequence, the volume change. even in list editor dont find any cc7 .how to keep the level the same level of midi tracks to all the sequences ?

Yes but the problem is a very known one, each midi got his volume information recorded accidentally with midi armed. I don't know if like lampdog said,if you delete automation, it go away. Got to try it

Like so many other people, when I first got the X while playing around I accidentally recorded channel volume + program volume automations. I went into List Edit and erased those automations. It worked for me and many others on the forum. It’s mentioned in some previous threads.

One of the problems I had was what I think bees80 just touched on, my Moog’s volume knob defaulted to channel volume on X when I connected usb midi and I didn’t realize it right away.

I used to do that shit all the time way back when I got the Studio and I STILL do it on the Live. Remember when you hit record and it finishes the sequence, it loops back around and goes into Overdub mode so dont touch anything but STOP when you're done. I always start messing with tracks while its still running and come back and my sequence is totally ruined hah.
