    Scene 'safe' effects?

    I’ve gathered that CS midi doesn’t work that way. Based on the ‘global IA with midi out’ part of Matt’s comment I was confused where midi was in the mix, but rereading it I understand what he was saying now.

    Scene 'safe' effects?

    I couldn’t seem to get the CS control midi settings to fire the defined midi updates. I was trying with channels instead of bypass state, perhaps that’s different? I’ll give this a shot with the global IA switches to see if I can get it to do what I’m hoping for.

    I can make what is being suggested work with scenes, but it isn’t the way that I wanted it to work. I’m trying to find workarounds, but I might just have to accept that how I want it to work is not possible based on the idea that you can’t make groups of some things change without others...
