Hi,

a long time ago I already considered this being a bug and not a feature.  
Rui, you'll hopefully change your mind about this approach now. This  
"reset" at the start of a track, where a user not necessarily wants the  
sequencer to control CC vol and/or CC pan is a PITA. Just imagine the  
sequencer should get started, after a live improvisation and it should  
continue with the CC vol and/or CC pan were the improvisation without  
sequencer finished, then it's impossible to set wanted values for the  
track, unless you're a psychic. Even if you know the values, sometimes you  
simply use the controls of your external MIDI synthesizers, since they  
might be all in a rack and it's easier to select sounds and to mix while  
standing next to the rack. Some people dislike to repeat everything for  
the tracks, especially since nobody remembers the values that are aligned  
to e.g. 10 pan positions, while MIDI provides 128 steps.

Regards,
Ralf
