strange midimixer/AUM issue... 1 MM fader is moving 2 AUM channels - SOLVED
**So I discovered a new thing about AUM. Long press channel name, press top left orange fader icon, discover various settings I'd never seen before.
Somehow one of my channels was assigned the wrong channel here. Don't know how, but it's fixed, yay!**
Anyone have experience with this? I have one 4pockets Midimixer fader which is moving 2 different channels in AUM.
The scenario - An AUM session that started without MM, the session developed organically, ie channels added, deleted, channel positions moved for logistical reasons etc. Decided to add MM, just to control volumes. seemed to work OK, all channels were controllable.
Today I decided to move a few more channels around, and update channel labels on both AUM and MM. Got a bit messy so decided to delete MM, make a new instance and redo all the snapshots.
That's when I found 2 AUM channels being controlled by 1 MM fader. I deleted those channels and added again, still same issue. With one channel deleted, MM started to control the existing problem channel, plus 1 other AUM channels that wasn't controlled before.
Put a monitor on the output of MM, and it was only sending 1 midi channel per fader. But that fader (fader/channel 7 in this case) seems to be controlling more than 1 AUM channel, and that situation seems stuck...
Any thoughts?

I’ve never seen this and use MM in every session. If two faders move it’s because I’ve set the MIDI channel to be duplicative. Just brainstorming, could there be a MIDI loop somewhere?
Yes that's a good idea, I'll investigate. As far as I know there's no way of knowing what AUM is responding to. I can see what MM is sending, but not what's being received.
I'm not sure what you mean by a duplicative midi channel. I don't see how to do that in MM, or AUM. Or do you mean duplicating midi messages from one channel to another using mozaic or mfxConvert etc?
I just tried mapping an external fader to midi channel 11, CC7 Using mfxConvert, and sending that to AUM's midi control. That had the same effect, and MM is not involved.
That would seem to indicate that AUM is confused here...? I don't know of anywhere in AUM that I can tinker with settings like this, AFAIK it's not possible.... @j_liljedahl any clue here, is this a bug maybe?
Do you have a set of steps for creating a project from scratch that reproduces the issue that you could post?
Thanks, I edited my original post to say I'd found the problem, and it's described there. Must have been around the time you posted this...
Anytime I’ve ever planned on using MM beforehand, I’d use the MM template thing (12 or 16 channel) and start off that way.
With that said, thanks for reminding me that MM exists! I’ve been using midiLFO to modulate track volumes and such in AUM and it works great and all, but it’s nice to have other options.
@Edward_Alexander Yeh that would be the best way. But sometimes you just start something off for fun and it just grows. It doesn't seem too bad to add it after the fact, especially if you're just using it for volume. You just have to be aware that if you've deleted and moved channels around, they're not going to be ordered the same way in MM. but you only have to move some faders and do some labelling on the channels for it to work ok.
To make it clearer for other readers of this thread, you had simply two channelstrips in AUM with their faders mapped to the same MIDI ch and cc. You can access all MIDI mappable parameters for a channel and its nodes by tapping the channel name and then the parameter button as you described. You can also find them all in the main menu, MIDI CTRL.
