Master bus fader randomly dropping to -7.6

Recently, (my last two projects), I've noticed that my master bus fader had somehow been set to -7.6. 

Not knowingly have set it to this value, I imagined I must have accidentally moved a controller which affected this. However when playing back my current project I heard it suddenly drop to -7.6, it happened as I played a note on my midi controller during playback. I've tried selecting the master bus and hitting the keys to see if one has somehow been set to control the fader somehow, but nothing happened.

Any idea why my fader could be doing this?

Thanks in advance.

You have an envelope automation enabled for that master bus. Just delete it and youll be fine..

I seem to remember you have had a few threads about automation and using your controller with ACT, correct?
So are you sure automation is not hidding on you somewhere. If you have been messing with ACT then I could even see that ringing your front doorbell could sometimes arm a track to record. Make sure there is no hidden automation or controller data coming in somehow.
I'm afraid only those things could cause a setting to change without human intervention.

It's doing this randomly on every new project I create. Always master bus.

I'm wondering if swapping this around with another bus, it'd do it to that bus instead.

The only control linked to fader movement on my controller is my slider. And that's pulled all the way down right now, so if it was that, the fader would hit the floor.

This is confusing.

Hmmm, not sure how I could be sure.

This last track hadn't done it at all, but just did it.  So I could have to wait hours / days.


Thanks for all the advice. How did you deal with this issue of the key on your Roland? And then, how/why was it putting out data?

So perhaps my midi controller is randomly shooting out some data??? But even then, does that make sense?

Yeam, that makes sence. Chekc your Event List to see what midi is being transmitted from your Roland

I've noticed sometime the LED display on my midi controller, which usually stays as whatever it defaults to, sometimes changed to something, for a moment (as I notice a flash from corner of my eye), so always wondering what it's up to.

Ha.

There's definitely some problematic data trasmission from my controller...

I've noticed that on the LED display randomly a number will pop up, usually 68/69/66 as if a control has been pressed etc

I noticed when recording midi parts in, (I only tend to use piano keys and mod wheel - which shows up purple/pink in my sonar) sometimes I get random green nodes pop up in the piano roll window, usually about half way up. Not sure what they're controlling or which controller function they are. But I notice them.
