Undocumented parameter "modVolume"

Question

Hello, Dave Hilowitz use "modVolume" on group in his preset "Dave Choir". This is a critical parameter which setup the initial volume for each group, allowing later to crossfade with CC. Without it, all layers can be ear at startup.

Of coures, as soon as we use CC, the groups volume start to be properly computed.

this "modVolume" is undocumented, and there is zero trace of it on the internet. I guess nobody is awware of it. It would be nice to put it in the documentation.

Answer 1

I am using groups with volume knobs in my own presets, and I didn't witness the problem you described.
I tried to remove this attribute from "Dave Choir" preset, and couldn't hear any difference. The instrument is still functional.
Maybe the problem arises in a certain context, but I can't reproduce it.
Anyways, Dave will surely add it to the documentation later.
The documentation is often a bit late compared to Decent Sampler features.
