Midi CC bug with automation recording
I bought a new midi keyboard/controller last week and was busy setting everything up again.
Hardware controller: Akai MPK mini plus
CC hardware type: Endless buttons set to "Relative"
Midi map settings Drambo: Incremental - Jog + [>64] - [<64]
I ran into the following problem:
I would like no more jumping knobs when switching to other midi channels. My new Akai controller has endless knobs that I have set to "Relative". In Drambo I tested different settings and the knobs on the Akai worked best with: Incremental - Jog + [>64] - [<64]. Everything works fine in Drambo with these settings, the only problem I have is like:
With automation recording the knobs, they keep freezing in Drambo. If I set the knobs on the hardware to "Absolute" and in Drambo on "Continuous absolute" then it works, but then I have again the knobs jumps when changing the midi channels.
-Is this a bug?
-Is there another way to get this right without knobs jumping?
Best regards,

Hi. I cannot help with the automation recording problem, but..
If you enable "Takeover Mode" in the Drambo settings, the mapped knobs will not jump when connected to absolute controller knobs. They will only start to change when the controller value crosses the knob value. Still not as convenient as relative, of course.
I suspect your Akai MPC controller in relative mode sends other values when you turn its knobs quickly. You could use a MIDI monitor to find out what it does, then configure Drambo accordingly.
Thanks for the reply, but I prefer to use the relative mode if this is possible in Drambo... ;)
Hi, sorry to revive this, but can anyone else try if their incremental knob work with automation ?
I tried with the same controller and the x touch mini, with or without midifire. I can do further testings if asked.
Here's what's happening :
Thank you.
@Etienne That pretty much looks like you've chosen the wrong controller type for MIDI control.
Check this dialog and make sure you've chosen the correct controller type that matches the MIDI messages coming from your controller.
It's hard to tell what's going on without more detailed information and steps how to reproduce it.
Thank you for your response @rs2000 !
The controller type matches the midi message (incremental +[65-127] -[63-0]). Or am I missing something ?
The video 1st shows myself moving the physical knob (works perfectly) but fails when I record the automation.
Oh indeed @Etienne. I missed that. Going to check...
Thank you. 🙏 I'll write more info later tonight :)
Filed as a bug already. Thanks!
You rock ! Thank you
