(EDITED, noticed it might be an Elektron problem) I noticed something:
I have some Elektron devices, and having ~10–14 lanes of CC automation in a pattern slows the pattern down to a crawl, or well, at least a very wonky walk.
Can others reproduce? Can others verify it’s not happening with non-Elektron stuff? I’m hoping it’s just Elektron being crappy
At least this does the trick:
I created 2 tracks. One outputs to MIDI out A (Elektron), two to MIDI out C (Elektron).
Created 3 lanes of automation on one, ~10 on two. The wonkiness appears, if my ears don’t deceive me, even earlier.
I would suggest looking into the MAXIMUM RATE feature of automation lanes.
They allow for downsampling the automation curves, so as not to overwhelm downstream devices
Gah, turns out I can’t edit the OP anymore. I’m pegging this on Elektron, seems like their machines don’t handle multiple CC streams too well. Maybe a mod ( @thetechnobear ?) could edit the title to sth. like “Solved: CC slowdown due to Elektron” or similar.
