Thanks,detektiv_plok, I didn’t notice that it was disabled. I didn’t know that’s what_Render Plugin toInstrument_would do since I don’t usually render multiple with multiple velocities. If that’s the intended behavior, then it might not be a bug.
Some of the behavior demonstrated still seems weird. Disabling the velocity mapping seems to behave in an asymmetrical way depending on whether you began loud or quiet.
Yes, you’re right. When velocity mapping is disabled, the initial volume state of a pattern note seems to determine how subsequent volume changes are interpreted. For initial values in the volume column smaller than 80, a subsequent volume increase actually results in a decreasing volume.
This also happens when the volume is changed via the MXX pattern command, but here altering the value for a specific note also produces a click. Doesn’t happen with velocity mapping enabled. In the manual, MXX is not described as a sample note volume command by the way.
