Kid A was my introduction to Radiohead and was a revelation for me as to where music can go. Motion Picture Soundtrack is a song that always meant a lot to me and I keep coming back to it over and over again.

The main voices were played with the ContinuuMini which is a beautiful instrument and probably the closest you can get to string sounds. I really appreciate that it feels like a real instrument which you have to invest time into to master it. That said I still feel like a beginner and there are a lot of things I can improve when it comes to expressiveness.

The chords were played with the Synthstorm Deluge. I modified one of the presets of the synth patch pack “Boards of Deluge” and added some reverb from the Eventide H9 and some delays from the Strymon Magneto to add more space to the song.

By constant automation I mean that it should send out just one single Midi CC message once ideally at the beginning of when the clip plays. I understand that it won't send out a constant stream of midi messages.

So I experimented a bit and now I understand the problem a bit better and can try to explain how I approached it:

1. I created a new midi clip
2. I added a note at the beginning of the clip
3. I mapped one of the parameters to a midi cc value (e.g. Level -> CC 7)
4. I hold down the pad of the first note I created and configure a value with the gold upper encoder. When I change it I can see that the CC message is sent as expected.
5. I play the clip, but can't see that a cc message is sent
6. I add a second note to the clip.
7. When I play the clip still no cc note is sent out
8. I repeat step 4 but with the second note and configure the same cc value for the second note.
9. Now when I play the clip I can see that the two different cc values are sent out

It seems that I have to configure at least two cc values in a clip in order that the message is being sent out. This makes it quite cumbersome if I just want to send out a single cc message per clip. I hope my explanation helped to illustrate the problem.

My motivation is the following: I want to integrate the Deluge with my modular so I can save some settings in Deluge. I'm using the Expert Sleeper FH2 which can convert cc messages to cv and I would like to "preset" different parameters with that. With the method above I kind of managed to do this but it's not that easy to do, since I always have to create at least two notes which I then set to the same value.

And thanks for taking the time to help!

Would love to see this feature... It's something I do a lot exactly as you describe and I find it quite cumbersome at the moment. Your suggested solution would make this a lot easier.
