NRPN midi control issue

[jay frank]

i was trying to use the Korg ARP Odyssey VST on a  project

almost everything on the synth has a MIDI CC number, except for the Vibrato setting

i think this is because on the real synth, the Vibrato is controlled by a pressure-sensitive button

thru some experimentation, i found that the MIDI NRPN setting could allow the mod wheel on my MIDI controller (x-board 61) to control the vibrato

then i did a automation lane assigned to the vibrato, and set Remote Control and set that to the mod wheel via MIDI learn, which has worked in the past

this is because i am unable to right click on the button in the synth window and set remote control directly

anyway, this worked well, was happy with it

UNTIL

i tried to record the track

the midi input came in, it was recorded in automation lane, but it no longer controlled the vibrato

ive tried every combination of MIDI read and/or write controls, and changed the input button to THRU, and whatever the other option is

but i have had no luck with this problem

maybe theres some other way to do this, but i havent been able to figure it out

thanks for any help!

So the NRPN events show up in the automation lane and the Event List, but they are not actually controlling the synth?

yes, well i dont know about the event list, but it shows and registers in the automation lane, it just doesnt control the synth if Record is on

otherwise it works fine
