Default Overdubbing mod wheel automation is choppy

This is happening https://i.imgur.com/b01MCLo.png. Can it be fixed?

overdub is cumulative -- if you were recording midi notes, you'd see the same behavior. this is what one would expect when overdubbing layers of mod wheel, even though there's no real use case for such behavior.

what you want to do is delete the existing modwheel data and then re-record it.

what would be needed is for REAPER to be able to live-detect CCs that the user wanted deleted in realtime, perhaps by holding a modifier and then moving the CC while REAPER is in record mode, so that the playcursor would delete the selected CC as it traverses the project.

pravda23 brings up a point that i've thought about a lot -

in my opinion, the ideal MIDI recording environment would allow a user to record, overdub, punch in/out, and delete selective MIDI data in realtime, as the play cursor passes over it. you saw this implemented in the MPC series.

there was a js plugin for MIDI notes that did this pretty reliably, but the author has removed it from publication.

i haven't seen any sequencer from any software developer that fully fleshes this concept out: a realtime, item-altering MIDI filter that would allow replacing specific CCs (as per pravda23's usecase), deleting alternating MIDI notes, deleting swaths of all recorded data, or recording new passages.

such a system might be able to be cobbled together using REAPER's "record midi output" option.

Maybe translating MIDI CC to automation and back could be a temporary workaround?
