About controllers & "chasing"
Consider .a .situation .where .you .record .a .Controller .message, .e .g . .a .
change .in .the .wet/dry .mix .of .the .reverb, .in .the .middle .of .your .sequenc-
er .song . .Then .you ."rewind" .the .sequencer .to .a .position .before .the .
recorded .reverb .change . .The .problem .is .that .the .Nord .Piano's .reverb .
mix .will .remain .unchanged, .although .it .really .should .be .as .it .was .before .
you .recorded .the .opening .
To .solve .this, .you .could .record .a ."snapshot" .of .all .Controller .settings .of .
the .Nord .Piano .Program .at .the .beginning .of .your .sequencer .song . .See .
"Sending .MIDI .Controller .dumps" .below .
