Description
Issue type
General playback bug
Description with steps to reproduce
When you adjust the note velocity of a percussion instrument the playback volume remains unchanged.
- Set up a basic percussion of, say, "four to the floor" bass drum beats, and put it on repeat
- Play the pattern back and make sure it plays at the assigned default note velocities (64)
- Now change the note velocities of the notes.to 127
- Play back the result.
Expected result: The playback should reflect the new note velocities.
Actual result: The playback velocities remain the same (at 64)
In fact you can change the note velocity to any value, but the playback velocity remains stuck at 64.
