For Months now, I have tried to find out why every time I record something into a pattern on a Track that sends MIDI to an external Synth, the sound changes instantly. Pressing the REC button on Hermod+ seems to trigger a change in the CC value of the Modwheel (CC1) on the active Track.
Monitoring via Midihub revealed that Hermod+ indeed sends a Value of 63 on MIDI CC1 when pressing REC. This seems to be the MOD Layer resetting. (which makes sense)
→ BUT:
It assumes a Bipolar output, like pitchbend, for example and sends 63 (middle of the scale). But Modwheel is a unipolar thing, and that leaves it halfway up on the receiving 63 on CC1.
Usually that’s a tremolo or vibrato, and that changes the sound somewhat dramatically in some cases. This is especially bad in live situations, when you record live MIDI Overdubs/Loops
If I set the MOD layer CC to another number, it sends the same 63 Value just to another CC number, giving me the option of routing it to a CC number that doesn’t do any harm.
BUT then I lose the mod wheel feature.
Can you implement a MOD layer reset behaviour selector, where you can choose whether it’s bipolar or unipolar and send 0 or 63, respectively? Or just set that reset message to 0 for CC01?
I can see this potentially causing confusion outside the MIDI world too, depending on what you use the MOD Layer for.
