Volume bug with third party VST instruments

[Stefan Vonk]

I am using the keyzone classic VST plugin and have set the volume to -5:

 

But when I start playing my piano midi keyzone track it plays with volume on the highest level. when I turn the volume button a little bit while cakewalk is playing the midi, it changed to the right volume. But when I pause my track and play it a second time it just plays again on the highest volume level, same issue.

Also other instruments like Lowa Piano and Upright Piano have this issue.  However, the standard cakewalk plugin is working fine.

I am facing this issue since I updated to Cakewalk 2020.05. Is there a solution for this problem?

This sounds alot like there is automation or a control message being sent to set the volume. Check the event list, CC lanes in the PVR, or automation to see if there is something in the track setting at playback.  There is also a "zero controllers" setting in the preferences that might affect this as well.

Often this is caused by the Zero Controllers When Play Stops setting

Thanks reginaldStjohn, There was a CC lane named Expression which infected the volume. After deletion of this lane the problem was solved!
