I recently have been having a problem I never had before in years of work. Normally I use CC11 for expression and CC7 for global volume. For some reason now in a few recent files CC7 does nothing at all on any virtual instrument, no matter from which manufacturer. I never had this problem before. I haven't changed anything in my DP prefs. Older files and new files are fine, this only happens in projects done within a couple of months of each other, but otherwise totally unrelated.
(DP 9.52)
Any ideas what's going on? How can I get CC7 back to normal?

Re: CC7 stops working
I wonder if some defaults have changed (with respect to VIs).
I tested here with DP 9.52 (also my current version). At first, Pianoteq ignored the CC7 & CC10. But then I went into the MIDI settings for Pianoteq and turned on the "FULL FEATURED" global MIDI mapping which includes those controls, and it worked as it should.
I tested with MOTU's Bassline and the mix fader (CC7) worked fine. But it ignored pan (CC10)-- which might be because it is a strictly mono VI.
Modulo worked with CC7 (though quite zippery).
I brought up AAS String Studio and it didn't work at first, so I went into settings and turned on the appropriate MIDI control and it worked.
See if it works for MOTU VI's, and for the other VI's, check to see if there are settings within the VI to enable. I know you said that it seems to be project dependent. And perhaps there is something that in more recent versions defaults to off, that didn't used to.

Re: CC7 stops working
Thanks, but if it were defaults, why would any new files be fine?
Re: CC7 stops working-SOLVED
Finally found the solution. I had Enable Automation properly set up but for some reason, for these few files, the setting "Enable Automation Playback" was off. No idea why it did that, I certainly did not deliberately change it.
