Setup- iPad Mini, running ios 7.1, iRig MIDI, Apple lightning to 30 pin adapter, for sending midi to a TC Helicon Voicelive2
First, I'd like to publicly thank Arlo for his valuable time in helping me troubleshoot my midi automation `mess'. He has more important tasks before him and I truly appreciate his help!
MIDI data disappears, for reasons unknown, and I have now encountered another strange issue...entire automation being deleted.
I had previously recorded (and adjusted, per the timing window) several midi program change commands for a backing track. When adding a second layer of automation, to now manually scroll/move my document, the automation record icon would abruptly change from flashing yellow, to solid gray...in essence, turning itself off. When navigating to the perform tab, I find that the entire automation track has been deleted. Clicking on the [now gray] automation icon in the perform tab, gives me one option...record. It wasn't until I view the rollback data in the sync database section that I find two `automation to (null)' commands. Deleting these entries from the rollback screen, unfortunately, did not recover my previously recorded midi automation. Thankfully, re-syncing the database (that I was smart enough to save, prior to recording the second layer of automation) DID restore the midi automation.
So, I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar issue with automation.
Thanks,
Steve
