Yes, it's checked.  I've been using what used to be called "Cakewalk" for quite some time :-)
 

My point was to uncheck it. It is that setting that is causing the level of your vsti to zero out each time you stop playback. With it unchecked, the level will remain unchanged without the need for constant controller messages or search back.
 
Lots of us have been using cakewalk for 20 years plus but still pick up plenty of tips on this forum:)

I'll check the other thread.  Never thought of using a midi FX to get through it.  Very clever.

"Example: CC17" is included into Examples set (v5) for AZ Lua.

I'll give it a shot I see your point:-).  I always have it on to bring pitch bend back to sanity:-)  Still, it certainly doesn't zero out all controllers else I'd hear no noise out of the Aria player:-)

Haha - pitch bend madness indeed! You are correct that it does not 'zero' every cc, otherwise all synths, vsti or hardware, would go silent. It depends on which controller's the synth is using for expression etc. With many vsti's it is not just cc 7 that affects level. It solved the issue for me with several Kontakt libraries that use modulation cc for expression, resulting in zero level every time controll 01h was zeroed, and they would stay that way until a new value was sent.
 

FWIW there is a line in Sonars ttseq.ini to disable sending CC resets to dxi synths
 SendResetsToSoftSynths= <0 or 1>)
Unfortunately it does not seem to affect vsti's.
 
 
It would be great to be able to exclude particular cc's from the reset. Maybe someone will chime in with a method:)

Not complaining to be sure, as I love Sonar....  Been relying on Aria (and Kontakt) for acoustic instruments these days, and they can be quite the pain for gaining expression though usually well work the struggle.  But finding myself setting modulation and volume all the time... I grow so weary of the troll:-)
