MIDI 'SEND TO' track bug:

Create plugin track (1) and record MIDI events to that track
Create plugin track 2 and plugin track 3 (no events)
On track 1, set SEND TO to track 2
On track 2, set SEND TO to track 3

So far, so good, all three tracks layer together using the events in track 1.

Now head over to a different sequence, select track 2 (or track 1) and then return to your original sequence. The 'SEND TO' parameter has been reset to <none>, but only for the currently selected track.

The only workaround seems to be to make sure whenever you access that sequence you avoid already having a track selected that uses 'SEND TO'.

I've reset my firmware, nothing seems to stop this happening. How on earth did they miss this?

Can anyone else confirm this before I report it?

Agree. A bug.

Went back to original Sequence while track 1 was still selected and it was reset to <none>.
Track 2 remained at SEND TO Track 03.

Perhaps, I'm not following the sequence correctly. But I tried twice.

New Project

1. Track 1 with Plug In using Bassline 001

2. Record the sequence

3. Create Track 2 (Plug in) and Track 3 (Plug in)

4. Go to Track Mix and select Midi Track

5. Track 1 send to Track 2 and Track 2 sends to Track 3.

6. Press play and I see all the signal on Track 1, 2, 3.

7. Go back to main and create a Sequence 2

8. Create Track 1 (Plug In)

9. Go back to Sequence One and Go to Track Mix

10. The sends setting stays the same.

Am I missing something? How are you changing sequence if you select track?

Yes, the bug showed up on the MPC One. If we do it the other way, it works as normal. :lol:
