While jamming with one of the combi's, the volume suddenly decreases. This has happened only a couple of times and if I switch to another combi and then back to the one I was playing, the volume is once again normal.

Has anyone experienced this? I am using Live 8 and an APC40 and have not yet tried to isolate this.

Thanks

It sounds to me like a glitchy controller. I've seen this before when performing, one of the controls is dirty etc... and sends out a low value. Just a possibility.

Maybe you should check the vector joystick since it stays and accidentally touching it (or bad vibrations) can change its place from the center.

Yes, it's probably the Joystick!

The joystick should not mute sounds. Not a good choice.

Oh I know it can, but should it?

The joystick is not an active control.....it is passive. you can move it off center, on purpose prior to the beginning of your performance. If its cocked over to the extreme left of its range of motion, then you will be unlikely to inadvertently move it. Then, as you recall each new patch in your set, the vector value saved with the patch will still call up to its "saved" setting, which is usually the center point. Even though the physical control is off to the left, the program or combi will play as it should....only when you move the physical joystick will it "catch" the vector parameter and allow you to manipulate the vector. Whats good about this solution is that its global, and does not require you to edit all of your patches one by one to adjust or turn off vectoring. I find that with the vector joystick hard left....its not sticking up and not a target for my big paws as I futz around, especially reaching for the master volume pot.
