Bad volume imbalance between pattern mode and melody mode in Session Guitars

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I like to do call and response things with my Session Guitar VST's...play a pattern and interject my own melody...and repeat type thing. The problem I have is that the volume between the pattern mode and melody mode is seriously different with the patterns playing much louder..any fix for this?

I remember some time ago reading something in a manual with a remedy to this but it didnt work

So I;ve resorted to adding the Studio One vst pedalboard to the tracks and midi assigning a RAT pedal with a volume boost that I switch on and off by midi assigning to my sustain pedal..thats not very elegant...why are the volumes so different? They sound like 2 different guitars..which is ok if I wanted them to..i dont

Is this the section from the manual you're referring to?

The new melody feature makes it possible to add melodic fills to spice up an otherwise repetitive performance: Load the Melody.nki and switch the default mode on the Playback page to Pattern. Now, you can perform patterns just like in the regular instrument, but holding down a melody keyswitch will enable you to add monophonic or polyphonic fill-ins or variations to the pattern performance. The instrument will create smooth transitions between patterns and melody notes, if possible. If As played is selected in the voicing drop-down menu, the voicing will be an exact representation of the incoming MIDI notes. This way, playback in melody mode and pattern mode will be based on the exact same notes, which helps create smooth transitions between patterns and melodies.

One solution would be to change the velocity either in the Controller Editor or KSP.

Yes! Thats what I tried. The problem with that (for me) is that it was cumbersome to do that and I lost use of my left hand to control pitch bends and such for expression..it did balance/smooth things out a bit however.

I dont know what a KSP is I dont think and I guess I could change the velocity for those keyswitches , but wouldnt that universally change them for all plug ins?

Appreciate the help
