Recorded MIDI controls don't play back(?)
I found a curious little problem while recording a wah-wah guitar bit with a MIDI floor controller. I have my usual template where I use a wah effect inside the "big" POD farm plugin - it's easy, pick the wah type, right click on the effect, "learn", move the pedal and it's mapped. Records and plays with no problem.
There's one thing that sucks though and I just discovered it - if you want to toggle the effect live it makes a dreadful zipper noise. Fortunately there's way around it - POD farm is shipped with "elements", which makes all effects available in separate plugins, elements wah's toggle with no nasty noises. It doesn't have that right click "learn" feature that main plugin has, but no problem, right? Click the Param>FX parameter>Learn, assign the pedal and the stomp switch and everything works like a dream. Tracked the bit aaaand turns out recorded CCs don't work on playback. Everything works correctly while live monitored, all the MIDI data is there but doesn't move anything when listened back.
After inspecting the Param menu I found the MIDI link option and manually linked those CC events to the plugin controls, everything is okay now. But why main POD farm plugin doesn't require me doing it? Maybe there's some option that makes that parameter re-linking automagical?
