Mod wheel not working in DP only

Post by Freddy Bloggs »

Hi, I've checked input filter & everything seems correct. Pitch wheel works normally. Tested it in Reason & Logic & it works correctly. VI's that have visible pitch & modwheels, pitch works but nothing happens with mod wheel. In record no data is showing from mod wheel even tho I can see the blue light flash in the MIDI-monitor window when i move the wheel. Any suggestions?

Check the commands window(s) to see if it somehow got assigned to trigger a command?

AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!!!
I lost an entire day of my life as an experienced DP user....trying to figure out how the heck I lost modwheel input into DP.
I mean I have every utility under the sun confirming that modwheel is being transmitted....but in the midst of getting the RAVEN 4 software working, and having to build some new composite instruments in BOME MIDI Translator Pro, and merging old DP commands with the new ones that the Slate Raven created....at some point I must have ACCIDENTALLY caused the modwheel to get entered as a MIDI command in DP!!!!!
So I finally google searched it and ended up on this post! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

This is the reason why I don’t necessarily purge old topics from this board. Every once in a while, even years later, it helps someone experiencing a particular issue.

I think this thread & recent post serves as an important reminder that the COMMANDS can co-opt the functions of MIDI and keystrokes, so always a good place to check.

I think we've seen that filters and search are also some little culprits, as well.

But as with this thread, sometimes it is the specific symptom (rather than the root cause) that will be searched.
