MIDI Volume & Pan not applied at start of playback

[Clint Goss]

5 MIDI tracks on different channels going to a Yamaha Motif-Rack ES, then being recorded back onto an Audio track.

The Volume and Pan settings on the MIDI channels are not being applied when the I start playback. E.g. if the Pan is 100% Left, playback starts at Center.  If I grab the slider and move it slightly, it *jumps* to 100% left. MIDI envelopes for Pan and Volume (fail to) work likewise.

Any help appreciated!!!

Just to minimize the number of possible variables, I would start by disabling 'Always Echo Current MIDI Track in Preferences', and set all the MIDI track inputs to None.

Then make sure you have a forced output Channel assigned on each MIDI Track, and that the MIDI clips themselves contain no Pan or Volume controllers (CC10 and CC7, respectively).

Incidentally, why not update to the latest 19.10 release?

Yes, well, ah, er, ahem ... my clips had Pan and Volume values at various points ... Sorry 'bout that, but I hope this blazing blunder helps out another ...
