Automation issue within 0.9.92

[roy38]

Ok guys I'll try to explain myself here.

There seems to be an automation issue in LMMS.
Especially when it comes to turning off some instruments and then turning them back on again.

I have added some notes in the project files for clarification.

Might make sense if you can see it.

http://lmms.sourceforge.net/lsp/index.p ... &file=5162

Please download it and you will see that something is off. I have added the "mute this track buttons" to the relevant automation but when I open this file again, LMMS does not seem to have "Remembered" that the automation is for these two kickers. To play in the sequence that I have just saved the project in.

Tell me what you think, this is just something that i have stumbled across, maybe for many of you there is a workaround?
But still it does seem to be an issue, if LMMS can not remember how you want something to be automated.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if those are even supposed to be automatable. Why would you ever need to automate instrument mute switches?

I see

I had made a piece a while back I wish i had the project where i automated the mute switches towards the end of a project. It was in a drum roll section and I wanted to switch off certain drum patterns and just keep two drums playing solo It was in the 0.4.15 LMMS version.

Maybe the developers thought there was no need to automate the switches and had removed the capability? hmmmmmmm

Ok well at least I know i'm not going mad and this is not a function that I don't need to worry about.


Thanks.

Well you don't really need mute switches for that. You can just clone the bb-track and remove the unneeded patterns from the cloned one. That's the whole point of bb-tracks, that you can create variations and different patterns with them.
