I'm working on a song where I need to turn off all the effects on a given instrument at once, so I bound the "effects chain" LED from that instrument's track in the mixer to an automation track, set to turn off at a certain point in the song. It works fine until I close the project... when I come back to it later the LED stays on all the time until I Ctrl+drag it back onto the automation segments. I've tried removing song-global automation thinking that might be the culprit, but it didn't help. Is this a bug or am I just overlooking something?
Yes. This should have been fixed in the source code but not yet released. In a couple of weeks we should see a new beta of the next stable release. lmms-1.2.0-rc8
