"Select by Touch" blocks automation writing

[Tim R.]

Whenever I have "Select By Touch" turned on in the Eucontrol settings I only get an initial "touch" of automation (one break point) when I grab an S3 fader (initially). Once track is "Selected" all automation works fine (writes when touched). If I move to another (non-selected) track I get the initial single break point only until I "re-touch" the selected track to write. This is current Eucontrol version 3.2.2 and surface firmware has been updated.

Anyone else able to confirm or deny this bug?

"Select by Touch" means that the track is selected and activated. When you're in automation mode, every touch is written. But if you touch a fader without moving it, one value only is written. If you move the fader, values are written for every move when you are in play mode.
Maybe that's not your question?

Thanks for the reply, but you are missing my issue. When "Select By touch" is turned on, and I grab a fader (that is NOT currently selected) to write automation (Channel is in "Touch" automation mode), only one break point is written. Any other moves I make with the fader are ignored. UNTIL I release and RE-touch the (now selected) fader. THEN it writes all fader moves that I make. If "Select by Touch" is turned off all faders write all automation whenever touched (as they should).

Ups, sorry... Understand now :)

I should gladly have tested right away, but I'm on vacation. I'll test when I'm back in my studio (if no one else have done it before).
