I do understand that LMMS does not record actual sound even though it would be nice to have the functionality. I've found out what was wrong! I am not sure whether I am an idiot or the GUI has some strange things in it or maybe it is both. So now I am guesing what am I doing wrong? Is it correct to record automation in a playback mode and not to record it in a record mode? And most importantly is there any way to make LMMS record notes and automation tracks at the same time? Even though the same play button in the piano roll that only plays the track I just recorded does not allow to record automation as well. After that I play at my MIDI keyboard and everything sounds just fine but when I play the track again it apears that no automation has recorded.īut the most strange thing is that if I stop recording and just push a play button in the song editor window then if I turn my wheels the automation does get recorded. Then I create 2 automation tracks and map the virtual knobs on my plugin to the tracks, then mark them as 'record on' and open the piano roll because that is the only place where I can find a record button.
Pitch bend seems to be properly mapped by default, mod wheel maps with no problem and aftertouch does not seem to get recognized at all. What I try to do is to record a melody and some pitch bend and modulation going on the fly. I don't know whether it is a bug or a feature but atomation recording in LMMS 1.2.0-rc4 seems to work somewhat weird.
