Blue Arp and MIDI CC's

Does Blue Arp block CC messages from a controller keyboard?
I have the following set up in Reaper. A vst track with Blue Arp first and then Massive. I have my default MIDI CC map to the 8 control knobs on Massive. I have confirmed they work with Blue Arp removed. If Blue Arp is in the chain, the CC messages don't go through to Massive.
Is there a setting that allows this to work? I'm trying to find a way to set up and arp and send through CC messages.
I also have Kirnu Cream, but I prefer the ease of Blue Arp.

I added this feature in BlueARP v2.2.7 - it can be turned on or off.

It would also be really cool if BlueArp could send cc from the sequencer. The only way I can think to do this is to set the velocity, and then put a plugin after BlueArp that will convert velocity to cc.

I have a related question about a problem I'm having with BlueArp allowing CC messages thru. When I send any CCs they are being quantised by the current 'Sync' setting - i.e. it's only sending through the CC value once each 'step' so you can't make smooth changes.
I couldn't see any setting that could disable that. Is there any way to get BlueArp to let through MIDI CC data unchanged?

Hmm... could you explain a bit more in detail what exactly you are doing?sdp6000 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 2:58 pm I have a related question about a problem I'm having with BlueArp allowing CC messages thru.

Sorry for the slow reply - I've been away from my PC for a while.
I'm using Reaper (latest version x64, Win10). BlueArp v2.3.9 VST3.
Reaper track contains BlueArp then a soft synth. The channel input is receiving midi notes (to trigger BlueArp) and CC messages (that I want to go thru/bypass BlueArp to control the synth).
It looks like BlueArp is blocking the CC message. I tested it in three scenarios:
1. Blue arp disabled (plugin unchecked/bypassed in Reaper) = CC messages passing through fine
2. Blue arp enabled and playing = a few CC messages get through but only in between notes, no CCs are getting through when BlueArp is playing a note.
3. BlueArp enabled and not playing = no CC messages get through.
'other CC messages' is set to 'pass thru' in the settings and I've tried this with multiple BlueArp default presets (incl. MIDI thru dummy) but no luck.
